Nice post. I am studying computer science in college so as to get an in depth knowledge of the field and I can relate with this point of view. Currently I'm taking a Distributed systems class and I have been introduced to new ways of thinking about problems and also learning how the biggest companies solved their scaling problems!

Distributed Systems is a really neat field. I only know the surface of it from building microservices at work, but I’ve read a few papers that were useful for handling large audio processing jobs in parallel across multiple servers. Really great example; that class probably helps with thinking about system design and machine utilization in general. Thanks for your comment!
