I am compiling resources for a platforms similar to Leetcode (kata kind challenges) focused on backend development. I am aware of few of the resources which i've listed down below, will appreciate if you guys can share bit more. - https://hackattic.com/ : Interesting programming Problems.

- https://sadservers.com/ : Learn Linux by solving problems.

- https://fly.io/dist-sys/ : Distributed Systems Problems.

- https://github.com/pingcap/talent-plan/ : System Programming / Distributed System Challenge.

- https://protohackers.com/ : Server Programming Challenges.

- https://codecrafters.io/ : Implement server tech / softwares from scratch.

- https://hyperskill.org/ : Lots of projects based tutorials.

Trying to use this question to create a list of real world wisdom / insights that you've found useful in your life.

Any advice / hack / trick that you learned from any book and have applied in your life and benefitted from it.

Hi Everyone, I am not here to start a debate about OOPS vs Functional programming. So if you are not doing functional programming and don't like it simply ignore this thread.

This thread is for everyone who uses functional programming in their day to day life and have gone through the struggle of building mental models about functional way of doing things.

I am not looking for a guide to learn haskell syntax and any other programming syntax. I am looking for how to really learn functional programming how to build the mental models in order to think functionally. So that even if a language is not functional by nature, I can model my functions and data in functional way of building programs.

I myself write JS and Typescript for living and i came across this library https://github.com/gcanti/fp-ts

But not even 1% of this library make sense to me. So if anyone of you have gone through the struggle and overcome it and using fp in your code. Please share the knowledge to fellow learner.

Thanks <3 !!

Hi I am an avid learner and mostly work with JS ecosystem. Throughout my career here and there I have stumbled upon few programming talks from Youtube, which just make something click in my mind and I consider them as things which made the mental models clear in my head.

Do you guys also have something in your mind ?

Here is are few famous ones to start with.

What the hack is event loop anyway ? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aGhZQkoFbQ&t=265s)

Hi Everyone, I am a developer with 2 years of experience in Angular. When I started working I have no idea about OOPS, Functional Programming or Reactive Programming. But as Angular is tightly coupled with RXJS, I get to learn about reactive programming. Initially, I was not adhering to the programming paradigm and was writing kind of spaghetti code. But slowly after watching lots of conference videos, and lots of reading, I get to hold on Reactive Programming and the quote "Everything is a stream" started making sense to me, now I am pretty comfortable in writing almost all my code in Observable and Subjects.

While transitioning to this period I also get to know about what is functional programming and writing pure Observable streams. I understand functional programming up to this mark only.

- Pure Functions - Dot Chaining

That's it. I want to learn more of this stuff but I don't know how to start writing pure code. What to do about state change and side effects. I wanted to learn by taking a look at other people code and if anyone has a better suggestion do let me know.

These are the resources I am already aware of and reading right now.

- Composing Software by Erir Elliott - Mostly Adequate Guide by Dr. Frisby

The thing with books is that they only explain you the concept but it's hard for me to get ideas from the book and directly applying them in the codebase I am writing or in the job. Please reach out to me, if you can teach me something or provide any guidance.

How many of you guys really bother about counting calories and then defining a system on consuming those calories in a better way.

I am aware of applications to track your calorie count based on your food intake. But I couldn't stick to it.

Soi wanted to know does anybody has come up with a system which really works for them?

If yes please let me know... !!

Hi Everyone, As we all know that Mark Zuckerberg wears the same t-shirt because he wants doesn't want to put some mental effort into deciding what to wear.

I wanted to know, does it really bothers any other person when they have to decide on what to wear. If yes, Does anyone has come up with a hack way to solve this problem?

Suggestions please.

How to get better at indexing? How to get better at joins? How to get better in SQL optimization?

Must to know things about SQL and maybe relational databases?

The most important features I want for solution are :

- All the photos in the cloud should be encrypted and no one should have access to them.

- There should be an autosync feature for uploading photos from my device to cloud.

- The solution can involve setting up my own server if required.

- Privacy should be put as highest priority.
