100 days of Coding! Day 11

10 June 2025

Some days feel really good, not because you did a hundred things, but because the things you did finally clicked or got done after a long wait. Today was one of those days for me.

💡 System Design: 3 Topics, 3 Lightbulb Moments

I spent time today digging into system design, Here's what I went through:

1. CAP Theorem
   I finally got it. The trade-off between Consistency, Availability, and Partition Tolerance isn’t just theory — it’s the core of how distributed systems are built. Makes me look at databases and large-scale systems with a whole new level of respect.

2. Consistency Models
   Strong vs. eventual consistency — and why sometimes it’s okay for things to be a little out of sync temporarily. These models explain a lot about how apps like WhatsApp or Google Docs work behind the scenes.

3. Load Balancing
   Learned how traffic gets distributed across servers to avoid overload. Round robin, least connections, and how health checks keep services running smoothly — all of it finally made sense.

🪪 Driving License: Finally!!

Also — big personal win — I finally got my driving license today! 🎉

This has been pending forever, and I kept putting it off. But today, I walked out with that little card in hand. Felt like a proper adult.
