Hi HN, I'm working at an early stage startup, and want to learn about concepts and patterns that are crucial for senior roles, like: - Batch Processing - Messaging Queues - Microservices - Design Patterns - Which techniques to apply while working on a task - Properly debugging

Is there any online resource or somewhere I can see this in practice? Or any newsletter, youtube channel that discusses this in detail?

My go to sources are open source repositories where I try to understand the code bases and some PRs. But I feel overwhelmed with the resources.

Will Rogers said "Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment."

I can't think of any substitute for experience. You can read and study what you call concepts and patterns, just like you can read about baking a cake, but you can't get experience from study. You practice, make mistakes, stretch your abilities every day, and with luck you find good mentors.
