Why this topic matters
At many companies, coding rounds are just the first filter, not a guarantee of success. System design reveals engineering potential and level . Yet many candidates rely on generic 5-step frameworks that can come across as rehearsed rather than thoughtful. As AI takes on more of the coding, sound engineering judgement matters even more. Learn what really makes a difference from someone who has conducted hundreds of system design interviews.
