another lesson learned You don’t need to model everything you use.

Just remembered one of the rules from A2SV:

“Don’t fall in love with your ideas too fast.”

Challenge it using the devil’s advocate method. #A2SV

Everything started from this prompt. 👇

Act as a senior system architect and challenge my design like a tough real-world architecture review. Identify weak assumptions, hidden trade-offs, scalability risks, failure scenarios, and design flaws. Compare my solution with at least two alternative architectures. Evaluate it on scalability, reliability, maintainability, security, observability, and cost. Be critical, precise, and practical. Ask interview-style follow-up questions that expose gaps in my reasoning. Do not be generic or overly supportive.

I believed my solution was already well thought out since I had been working on it for a long time. But after this prompt, I realized there are many design issues I never considered or even knew existed. Now, after spending 2:30+ hours being challenged on my design, I don’t think I’ll be able to fully refine and complete it within this week😢 #ChronaNex #systemDesign

remaining humble...cool nice to ppl...cool learning smt...cool little progress...cool u feel dumb...cool so many things to learn...cool u enjoying it....cool u feel tired....cool CONTINUE! 😤 @abenetgb

Yeah, I nailed April like I promised, and things were going really well… I’m not sure how I’ll manage this from now on☹️ #April #cinsistency #A2sv #leetcode

Life doesn’t care how tired you are... it still expects you to perform at your best. @YosephWon

to write a good prompt ቢያንስ learn the basics. @YosephWon

am i the only one ?! Does anyone else lose interest in things once they understand them? I only stay motivated when I’m struggling or learning. After I get it and try it a couple of times, I usually stop caring about it and get bored. @YosephWon

Back to Feeling Dumb🤓 It’s been a while since I forgot that feeling of being dumb while solving questions and thinking I’m not good enough for coding/problem solving… but now Tree and Recursion have kindly brought that feeling back 😢 @YosephWon #A2sv #DSA #feelingDumb

For the sake of my sanity and health, I’ve decided to add an extra hour to my sleep schedule. Let’s see if that helps me recover.

Now that we’re almost done with the basics, the concepts at A2SV are becoming much more interesting. I think we’re reaching the point where many people slow down or stop because the topics become harder. and since A2SV has such a strong teaching system and organized problem lists by level, I’ve been thinking about helping you guys with that. I’m not exactly sure how yet, but I’ll figure something out. If anyone has ideas, let me know. #A2sv #DSA #learningTogether @YosephWon
