System Design Interview RED FLAG list.
If you’re making these 5 mistakes… WE NEED TO TALK 😂
1️⃣ "Start the design without wasting time."
Interviewer: I didn't ask for this.
This is the fastest way to fail an interview.
✅ Instead:
The more you walk, the better you feel.
The more you lift, the more muscle you build.
The more you get outside, the happier you are.
The more hard things you do, the easier your life becomes.
Walk. Lift. Get outside. Do hard things.
This is the way.
You don't have to attend every argument you're invited to.
The best revenge is none.
Heal, move on, and don’t become like those who hurt you.
You can’t judge people only by how they treat you. The true test of character is how they treat those they don't like or need.
Even if someone is kind to you, proceed with caution if they’re consistently unkind to others.
Selective civility is a sign of deep-seated hostility.
The struggle is real!
Zoom in, it's chaos. Zoom out, it's progress.
Confidence is not walking into a room thinking you are better than everyone.
It's walking into a room without comparing yourself to anyone at all.
Criticizing is fast and easy. Creating is slow and difficult.
The two hours you spent on a book or movie took someone two years to produce.
Anyone can tear down someone else's work. The true test of insight is whether you can help them improve it or build something of your own.
Cynicism is easy. Mimicry is easy. Optimistic contrarians are the rarest breed.
