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.
(As an aside, I think in recent years, the spirit of SEO has become more about just making good stuff and less about hacking...)
Anyway, it wasn't for SEO. It's hard to edit stuff well because we're so passionate about what we wrote here, and we probably should do another pass.
No way, I’m dying here. “… and my main weakness is probably that I care too much…”
