FWIW: I didn't produce the content presented here (the outline from Edmond Lau's book). I've just copy-pasted it from somewhere over the Internet, but I cannot remember what exactly the original source is. I was also not able to find the author's name, so I cannot give him/her the proper credits.

What's an Effective Engineer?

ialpert

Questions to ask potential employers

• How long do you expect it would take me to deploy my first change? To become productive? To understand the codebase?
• What's the longest tenure of a developer at this company?
• How long has the top quarter of the developers been here?
• What fraction of the developers have been here less than 6 months?
• How long does it take to do a complete deployment?
• How large are PRs? For a "big" PR, how many lines of code? How long is it open?
• How often do you have major outages? What constitutes a major outage for you?
• Do you have a defined process for the aftermath of an outage?

System Design Cheatsheet

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

Basic Steps

1. Clarify and agree on the scope of the system

• User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
  • Who is going to use it?
  • How are they going to use it?
