As someone with more than 5LOE I’ve found that technology matters less and general concepts are more valuable.
So look at system design concepts, how infra you use typically works (pubsub, databases, etc), how companies solve problems (engineering blogs from companies like slack, meta etc)
Learning new languages only helps if you are currently working on something obscure.
undefined> 5LOE
What in the world is LOE? Level of effort?
I think level of experience
It’s apple autocorrecting YOE lol
When I was job hunting last time, I did a fair amount of studying into systems design. There's always obviously more to learn but I already have a fair amount of exposure to it.
One of my plans is to read more industry engineering blogs for sure though
