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.

Hi Swirly, most youtube videos will not help that much, other than conference talks. I recommend going more slowly, and comfortably reading books. For example "Designing Data-Intensive Applications", based on your interests. Don't read it over a weekend, read it over a couple of months.

Your focus should also shift a little bit more towards helping others, thinking about where the whole team is going, etc.

But give it time. As long as you keep learning, you will get there. :)
