[@mahmoudabdelsattar8860]

no way i found someone finished some of the hardest books
we need more on detail

[@therealraymondjones]

Yeah I'll plan on making more

[@williamsun8984]

Genuinely amazing content, thank you so much

[@minma02262]

This is gold. Thank you for all your effort 🙏🙏🙏

[@therealraymondjones]

Thanks!

[@apoorv28goel]

Pretty awesome way to teach a book. Would love to see this format on more books

[@mikefischbein3230]

That was really useful. You demystified a lot of stuff for me. Thank you.

[@therealraymondjones]

That's good to hear

[@mikekaranja63]

Great stuff, just book the physical book, good to review it with this video.

[@Cyber_Lanka]

I came across this channel accidentally. Amazing video. Keep up the good work. You deserve much more subscribers and viewers 🎉

[@mr.daniish]

This was solid!

[@yoJuicy]

Thanks for teaching. Keep posting content, you’re going to blow up

[@therealraymondjones]

Thanks yoJuicy

[@lulul9980]

I seldom comment on videos but man your content and vibes are amazing!! You don’t know how much it has helped me!!

[@therealraymondjones]

Thanks for the words lulul!

[@vraja6812]

Thank you very much boss

[@therealraymondjones]

No problem

[@safari433_]

Im reading this book yet. My brain blocks for some days and i comeback the reading. Im like, mesmo achando difícil.

[@LawrenceDCodes.]

This is impressive sir. Keep it up - your explanations are valuable and style is easy to follow. +1

[@therealraymondjones]

Thanks Lawrence

Thanks hass 🙏

[@Han-ve8uh]

Are there recommended methods to practice? As you mentioned these resources are mostly theoretical. Is it ok to regurgitate answers even if interviewee has no real experience implementing a concept?

[@therealraymondjones]

For System Design you must know theory because an interviewer will ask you "How does Leader-Follower work?". If you only cover practical application system design, you won't learn the basics of how all these algorithms work and won't know how to answer the questions

[@Nectiebot]

Oh wow, we rolled some months ago. Great content.

[@yogeshsirsat]

thanks for this video, can you also please make video on Web Scalability for Startup Engineers?

[@therealraymondjones]

Yeah I can try something like that. Don't know much about it. My guess is that most start ups just use wrappers like AWS or Heroku or other IaaS to handle any scaling. Then try moving away to save costs

[@yogeshsirsat]

@@therealraymondjones Yepp most startups do that especially early age, since I guess its need that they want product to get ready asap, also btw I was talking about the book called Web Scalability for Startup Engineers, it's almost same as Designing Data Intensive Application but that book starts from basics as per my read.

[@therealraymondjones]

@@yogeshsirsat Ah okay I never heard of that book. I may try doing a video on it in the far future. Still have to finish recording Alex Xu / DDIA videos

[@mdshafiuddin1234]

what is the prerequizite

[@ravi7264]

It took me 6 months of continuous effort to complete it. I listed to its audio book version 3 times. Still I am understanding more and learning new from every single read. How long did you take to complete it?

[@therealraymondjones]

It's a hard book. I need to reread it for sure. It took me about 50 hours to read and take notes from chapters 1 to 12

[@tuzzogetti]

Do you recommend the books? it's some use in the modern day?

[@therealraymondjones]

The resources here are great and up to date

[@shivangtripathi2369]

can you cover more books like these

[@therealraymondjones]

Yeah the plan is to cover more

[@newbie8051]

I dont understand most of this stuff, guess will have to come back later in a few months/years

[@noiseandsmke216]

40:08 what is the website behind sir?

[@therealraymondjones]

github.com/systemdesignfightclub/SDFC/blob/main/README.md

[@leninotaloracriollo3932]

Good 🎉

[@therealraymondjones]

Thanks

[@cvo-ff]

Reading the book gets you 1/10th of what you need. Experience in _building and operating_ these systems at scale only come from working for a company that has that scale. Circles and arrows are not a substitute.

[@VthePeople4156]

---}}}. Hi bro after learning system design what is the next step ......
---}}} What I want to learn????
---}}}. Are u covered everything about system design in this video ????
---}}}. No need to refer any other Tutorials????

[@danzielcempron2589]

at 13:16, can you paste the link to this repo?

[@danzielcempron2589]

27:19, too

[@therealraymondjones]

Yeah its -> github.com/systemdesignfightclub/SDFC/blob/main/README.md

[@misalambasta]

Update in your thumbnail 2 hours to 1 hour.

[@therealraymondjones]

Done

[@kevyyar]

...and still no job lol. Just kidding! Just following the meme xD

[@vraja6812]

Where is the notes? so we can go thru

[@therealraymondjones]

Notes are here
raymondjones.dev/en/system-design-notes/
A really good roadmap is -> github.com/systemdesignfightclub/SDFC/blob/main/README.md

[@perc-ai]

thats not enough system design books to get a job though

[@therealraymondjones]

Depends on your level. Mid-level it easily is. For Senior and Staff level system design interview it definitely is not

[@basuta-dshrara]

@@therealraymondjones what would you consider senior and staff ? This book is very dense and seems to be covering enough for those levels. thoughts ?

[@therealraymondjones]

@@basuta-dshrara I think chapters 8 and beyond of the book are expected for senior / staff levels. Database Internals is another good book to go through along with Google SRE and some academic white papers on the actual technologies used like DynamoDB

[@mengni4426]

Alex Xu😂

[@Juan_deep]

I hate when people just learned something then acts like they know what they are talking about but dont.

[@MichaelBohemian]

this guy has good information from the book but is horrible at explanation.

[@0xggbrnr]

An hour of nothing explained. Didn’t demonstrate he actually understood what he read. 😬

[@Juan_deep]

Seriously this guy doesnt know what he is talking about he is trying to learn by explaining it but he failed big time 🤡

[@ranahamza23]

Bullshit
