If you used the product, you can easily visualize how to build it. Even something esoteric like Shazam. Even easier if it’s an everyday product like Instagram. A tad harder if it’s a dev product that you use everyday like Kafka. But not by much. I don’t get why you are complaining. YoE 25. TC: $600k
Bro wanted to trigger a lot of ppl on a boring Wednesday afternoon
Is that why you’re still at Apple? And lying about your TC and YoE?
There are a ton of of companies out there building things not geared towards consumers, that have use cases that are hard to understand, for businesses models they prefer to keep secret, against thousand page specs and regulations and tribal knowledge you either have experience with, or you don’t. Yeah, cell phones are kind of easy to understand.
Is Shazam really easy to build if you're not familiar with their algorithm? How is relevant data extracted from the audio sample? How does their songs database work? How is it indexed and what db tech are they using? Hundreds of research hours went into this product, it's absurd to expect you to come up with a good design for Shazam in 30 minutes, unless you're already familiar with its inner workings.
Those are LLD details... would you talk about algorithm for extracting audio samples in a HLD? All that needs to be covered is how components fit together
That's a naive way of thinking about it LLD and HLD don't exist in silos They often affect one another For example, the low level algorithm in this case will have a significant impact on the DB technology I use, which would have implications on the CAP tradeoffs as well
It’s easy if you have experience. Problem is when people think they can just read some system design books and pass. Very easy to tell who has real experience and who doesn’t
