Last year a junior developer built an app that suddenly went viral. Everything was working perfectly… until 200,000 users showed up at the same time. The server crashed. The database froze. Users couldn’t log in. The product died in 6 hours. Weeks later he interviewed at a big tech company. They asked him one question: “How would you design a system that can handle 1 million users?” He failed the interview. Not because he couldn’t code. Because he didn’t understand system design. This thread will explain system design so simply that when you face this question in an interview, you’ll know exactly what to say. Bookmark and retweet this. You’ll need it someday.

This is probably the lowest I've been since a few years. Can't find freelance work, was super close of getting a good job in a startup in Switzerland, I failed B2B sales, and I don't know how I'll pay rent this month. Worst of all: my second baby is coming next month. I did tons of outreach that I should have started earlier. But it'll likely won't bring any result for at least a month. So yeah, if you're looking for a senior developer with 10+ years of experience (18 in total, 13 as a pro), tons of skills, Laravel + ecosystem expert, LLMs expert, design expertise, business expertise, etc. Feel free to reach out.
