Powerful lesson for the senior and staff levels.

I know in system design interviews, one of the main things interviewers look for is if you can identify and fix the bottlenecks. It goes for interviews and for everyday engineering. Appreciate the lesson on this, Michał!

Thanks for the kind words, Jordan.

It's really important to focus on bottlenecks during system design interviews, as that's where everything can break down. I appreciate your perspective!

Loved the story from “Anything You Want"! I’m going to check out the book :)

I first thought deeply about bottlenecks while listening to ‘The Goal’. A bit outdated, but very interesting (and a great narration on Audible!). The more software-oriented version is ‘the Phoenix Project’.

Thanks for recommendations, Anton!

"Anything You Want" is short but packed with ideas, you may enjoy it.
