Welcome to Our Community!

Hey there! Welcome to our vibrant community focused on empowering early-career software engineers to dive into the exciting world of system design. But what does that really mean?

What Is System Design?

System design is like piecing together an epic puzzle! It's all about understanding an application someone wants to build and planning out how to construct it step by step, from start to finish—including how it'll be launched, maintained, and kept running smoothly.

Ever wondered how you'd build Netflix? Or what it takes to create the next Facebook? That's the magic of system design!

Why Should Early-Career Engineers Learn System Design?

Usually, tackling system design is left to the seasoned pros—those senior engineers with years under their belts. As newbies, we're often told to stick to coding tasks, watch and learn, and maybe, just maybe, after years of experience, we'll get to design something big ourselves.

But does it have to be this way? In fields like law, medicine, and construction, we've found ways to educate people early in their careers to provide holistic services. So why not in software engineering? We think it's time for a change!

Join us as we take a fresh approach to learning end-to-end system design, specially geared towards engineers who are just starting out or early in their careers.
