How to Tackle IELTS
A practical, resource-backed guide to preparing for IELTS Academic. Covers the best books, podcasts, and daily habits for each of the four skills — plus tested tips and tricks to maximise your band score.
System Design Basics
Learn the fundamental principles behind building large-scale, reliable systems: scalability, availability, latency, and the key trade-offs that drive real-world architecture decisions.
Concurrency vs Parallelism
Untangle four words engineers constantly confuse: concurrency, parallelism, threads, and processes. Learn what runs truly simultaneously versus what merely interleaves, why Python's async model is single-threaded, and how getting this wrong causes real production bugs like sharing one database session across coroutines.
Load Balancing
Understand how load balancers work, the algorithms they use (round-robin, least-connections, IP hash), Layer 4 vs Layer 7 differences, and how to design systems that stay healthy when servers fail.
