"What we can’t do is ship our opinions. We’re too high-scale, and we serve too many people to say “I like X, so we’re doing X.” That can’t be the reason why we’re doing things. We have to gather requirements for customers, we have to think engineers, and we have to be really diligent and methodical about the way that we think about these things, and the way we solve problems. So we have to kind of check ourselves and move ourselves away from strongly-held opinions as much as we can in order to do that work." https://lnkd.in/dYctnKrU

The top 3 mistake I've seen even a skilled engineer makes in a system design interview: 1. Inadequate Problem Understanding: It's surprising to observe how frequently individuals fail to dedicate sufficient time to understand in-scope and out-of-scope requirements thoroughly. 2. Superficial Calculations: Nowadays, people often perform calculations related to storage or scaling requirements but neglect to incorporate them effectively into their solution. If you engage in such calculations, talk about how your solution accommodates these figures. Designing for a user base of 10 million differs significantly from catering to 1 billion users, and your solution should account for this disparity. 3. Overlooking Bottlenecks and Failures: It's crucial to allocate some time towards the conclusion of your discussion to address potential bottlenecks and failures. After talking about a successful use case, it's important to dive into potential failure scenarios and how your solution would gracefully handle them.

Wastes of Lean: Improve Productivity by reducing Overproduction. Interview questions: Any tasks or activities that you feel might be unnecessary or could be streamlined? Where do you feel like you were overproducing or doing more than what is required by your team or clients? Where are you completing tasks ahead of schedule, only to realize later that it led to waste or inefficiency? How do you determine the appropriate level of output or deliverables for a given task or project? Can you share any strategies you use to avoid overproduction? What reports or documents end up not being used or read by anyone? How do you ensure that the reports you generate are valuable and relevant to their intended audience? Where is information or material processed or generated before they were actually needed by the next person or team in the workflow? How do you think such situations can be prevented or minimized? #lean #processimprovement #wastes #leansixsigma #overproduction
