Reviewers are growing tired of "performative culture." While Diwali and Holi content looks beautiful, critics argue it sanitizes the chaos. Many videos skip the traffic jams, the pollution, and the noise fatigue, creating a fantasy that leaves NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) feeling nostalgic for a place that doesn't exist.

The system design interview typically involves designing a system that can handle a large volume of traffic, data, or users. The interviewer will provide a high-level overview of the system requirements, and the candidate will be expected to design a system that meets those requirements. The interviewer will then ask questions about the design, such as how it handles failures, scalability, and performance.

In the competitive world of software engineering, the system design interview (SDI) is often the "final boss." Unlike coding rounds where there is a clear right or wrong answer, system design is open-ended, ambiguous, and tests your ability to build scalable, reliable, and maintainable systems.
