🏗 Why System Design Matters + Best Free Resources Many students focus only on DSA and coding… but System Design is what separates average developers from strong engineers. Why is System Design important? - It teaches you how real systems work at scale (not just writing code that runs on your laptop) - It’s a must for interviews at top companies - Helps you design better projects (instead of just CRUD apps) - Makes you understand trade-offs (scalability, reliability, cost, performance) - In 2026, even junior roles expect basic system thinking because of AI and complex applications If you only know how to code, you’ll stay a coder. If you understand System Design, you become an engineer. Best Free System Design Resources (2026) 1. Must Start Here System Design Primer (GitHub) – The classic free resource 👉 https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer 2. Best YouTube Channels - ByteByteGo -Clear & visual explanations - Gaurav Sen- Deep understanding of concepts - NeetCode -Good for interview-style problems 3. Extra Strong Resources - karanpratapsingh/system-design (GitHub) - ashishps1/awesome-system-design-resources (GitHub) Recommended Path: 1. Read System Design Primer (basics) 2. Watch ByteByteGo + Gaurav Sen 3. Practice designing real systems (URL Shortener, Twitter, Chat App, YouTube…) @CTBEsoftwareengineers

Looking for a video editor. We’re looking for someone to help us turn long-form conversations and podcast footage into short videos for Addis AI. A big part of the job is knowing what to cut. You should be able to watch a conversation and spot the moments that are actually worth turning into a clip, without us having to give you every timestamp. Most of the content is around AI, product, startups, and building Addis AI. We care more about good pacing, clean subtitles, and good judgment than heavy effects. If you’re interested, send 2–3 examples of your work, your rate, and your usual turnaround time to @AddisAIOpportunities. @kalBuilds

I built a 90-day Backend Mastery roadmap for developers who want to go deeper into backend engineering. It covers 17 systems across Linux, networking, Docker, PostgreSQL, Redis, system design, distributed systems, Kafka, Kubernetes, cloud, CI/CD, observability, security, and more. It includes curated resources, hands-on labs, checklists, and a day-by-day plan. If you're serious about leveling up your backend skills, check it out: backend-mastery.seefun.dev @sifendev

💻 OpenAI Releases Cybersecurity Model That Found Two Chrome Flaws OpenAI has launched GPT-5.6-Cyber, a specialized AI model designed to help cybersecurity defenders identify vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. The model answers up to 98.5% of security queries that would otherwise be blocked by standard AI safety filters, and has already uncovered two previously unknown vulnerabilities in Google Chrome. OpenAI says the window of opportunity for defenders is narrowing. Access to the model requires identity verification. Source
