"how do i get better at system design?"
stop memorizing patterns
instead, ask about every product you use:
how would i build the notifications?
how would i handle the search?
how would i scale the messaging?
then look up how they actually did it

the best technical decision i made in http://forg.to:
delete features nobody used
removed 40% of the codebase
bug count dropped
deploy time dropped
clarity went up
addition by subtraction is real
