What is System Design?
Practice designing systems you can explain on a whiteboard and in a repo. Career-relevant, not academic. Technologies and topics covered include System Design. Practical focus: A system design write-up for a product slice with a simple prototype. — Apply System Design in a project you can put on your profile. You work toward: Build and debug with System Design without copying a tutorial line by line; Ship a System Design project with a clear README you can share; Explain when System Design belongs on a career path — and when it does not.
