i’ve noticed that ex-valorant players who peaked above immortal 3 are insanely good engineers or founding team members in general.
if you’re one of them, i want to hire you. especially if you instalocked jett like me.
Trying to build a Yjs-style collaborative app from scratch without using Yjs, implementing my own conflict resolution logic.
Would love any resources, guides, or things to watch out for
A lot of developers “learn” System Design by watching one YouTube video on:
“How to Design Instagram”
Then they draw:
Load Balancer → App Servers → Redis → Kafka → DB
…and think they understand architecture.
You don’t understand System Design until you can explain:
Why Redis is needed
What happens when cache misses spike
Why Kafka instead of direct writes
How DB replication affects consistency
What fails first at 100x traffic
System Design is not diagram drawing.
It’s reasoning under constraints.
Launched my portfolio
Check it out and please provide me some suggestions and mistakes that I can fix:

Thanks @ramxcodes for feedback.
@sujal_here I want to ask you if you would be interested in listing your project in a Product Hunt alternative for free?
They are looking for high-value, unique projects, and yours would be a great fit.
Shipped Codentis, a CLI-based AI agent with real-time streaming, persistent context, and 10+ developer commands. Designed it end-to-end with modular agent loops and async reliability. It’s already being used by devs. Also have experience at Samsung R&D working on ML pipelines. Would love to contribute.

we're hiring at @Cyndra_ai
if you've built AI agents that actually run in production (not tutorials), we want to talk.
you'll work directly with founders & CEOs to deploy AI employees that replace entire workflows.

I used to think Auth was simple.
“Login karo, token do, ho gaya.”
Then I tried building it properly:
– Secure password storage
– JWT lifecycle
– Middleware chaining
– Role-based access
– Handling edge cases
That’s when I realized:
> Authentication ≠ Authorization
> And most tutorials oversimplify it
So I wrote the guide I wish I had:
A practical breakdown with real backend flows (Node.js + JWT + MongoDB)
If you’re a developer, this will save you hours of confusion.
