There is a lot of advice out there on all the great things you should do like learning, upskilling, being a problem solver, etc. But what are some of the things that a Software Developer should definitely not do? Let's talk about it.

These are the things I recommend you to avoid and the last one is what many people will hate me for, but it is 100% true.

Outline:

00:00 Introduction
00:24 Do not think that a working code = task done
03:10 Do not reinvent the wheel
05:13 Do not think of handling infinite scale on day 0
06:27 Do not form a strong bias towards any db, framework, language
08:07 Do not believe that more abstractions = more readability

# Arpit's System Design Masterclass

I teach a course on System Design where you'll learn how to intuitively design scalable systems. The course will help you

- become a better engineer
- ace your technical discussions
- get you acquainted with a massive spectrum of topics ranging from Storage Engines, High-throughput systems, to super-clever algorithms behind them.

I have compressed my ~10 years of work experience into this course, and aim to accelerate your engineering growth 100x. To date, the system is trusted by 1000+ engineers from 13 different countries.

Together, we will build some of the most impressive systems and dissect them to understand the intricate details. You can find the week-by-week curriculum and topics, benefits, testimonials, and other information here
