I like some parts of part 1 too, like this paraphrased quote from a senior FB engineer “I’ve learned more about distributed systems reading the internal interview wiki at FB than anything I ever actually built myself… the actual systems at scale are designed by platform teams and most engineers don’t have to think about the impact of dumping a billion messages on a queue, because the infra team will handle it”.
Goes to show what a ridiculous game we’re all forced to play in tech.
