📌 System Design Interviews are Changing 📌

One major shift I'm seeing in System Design interviews is this:
The conversation is moving beyond traditional questions like:
❌ Design a Parking Lot
❌ Design Instagram
❌ Design a URL Shortener

For many AI-focused roles, you now need to be ready to discuss systems such as:
✔️ Design an AI Chatbot
✔️ Design a RAG System
✔️ Design an LLM Inference Platform
✔️ Design a Scalable AI Application
✔️ Design AI infrastructure for production

But a lot of interview preparation still focuses heavily on traditional System Design.
We want to change that.
For our 90-day program, System Design will be taught by Pramod, an ex-Yahoo and ex-Apple engineer with 26+ years of industry experience.
The goal is not just to memorize architectures.
It is to understand how you would actually design, scale, troubleshoot, and explain modern AI systems in an interview.
