Today was a pretty productive day.
I gave my Hack Vega exam, and it went decently well. It wasn’t too overwhelming, and I think I managed to answer most questions confidently. The exam had a mix of everything – logical reasoning, english and quant. Let’s hope it turns out well!
I didn’t want to completely burn out, so I did a light DSA brush-up — nothing too intense, just revised some commonly used patterns and solved a few quick problems to keep the rhythm going. Even a little practice every day adds up.
Later in the evening, I got curious and ended up reading about two system design topics randomly via ChatGPT.
It’s fascinating how deep and layered system design can get. From scalable chat systems to caching mechanisms, there’s always something new to uncover. I wasn’t planning to dive into it today.
