@Franc0Fernand0 This is where the “engineering” is in “software engineering” most genuinely don’t understand the complexity, and design required to ensure global scale and reliability
@Franc0Fernand0 Found an amazing blog post that made learning System design extremely intutive to me. Here is the link: http://thita.ai/blog/system-de...
@Franc0Fernand0 The stock market is like a rollercoaster designed by caffeine addicts; it goes up, it crashes, and somehow everyone still buys tickets. Ever notice how panic selling feels like a group project where nobody read the instructions? Why do we keep thinking this time will be different
@Franc0Fernand0 Your thread is going viral! #TopUnroll https://threadreaderapp.com/th... 🙏🏼@therion4ro for 🥇unroll
@Franc0Fernand0 Understanding distributed systems is key to modern architecture. Key concepts: CAP theorem, consensus algorithms, and fault tolerance make these systems reliable at scale.
