Distributed storage systems design and operation for cloud platforms. Covers the GFS/HDFS block-and-master pattern, object storage (Swift/S3) with consistent hashing and eventual consistency, block storage semantics, replication vs erasure coding, the CAP theorem in practice, read-repair and anti-entropy, snapshot…
Networking fundamentals as they apply to cloud infrastructure — virtual networks, subnets, routers, NAT, floating IPs, security groups, VLAN/VXLAN segmentation, load balancing, SDN concepts, and how Neutron-style cloud networks sit on top of physical topology. Covers TCP behavior at scale, congestion control, tail…
Service-oriented and microservices architecture patterns for cloud-scale systems. Covers service boundaries, API versioning and backward compatibility, eventual consistency at the API layer, idempotency keys, saga and choreography patterns, bulkheads, circuit breakers, service meshes, and the Vogels "you build it, you…
Use when the user reports a bug they can't reproduce, asks where to start debugging, or mentions a Heisenbug / production-only failure. Drives the observe→hypothesize→predict→test→iterate scientific method.
Software design principles, patterns, and architecture from SOLID through distributed systems. Covers the five SOLID principles with violations and fixes, DRY/KISS/YAGNI heuristics, separation of concerns, 12 GoF design patterns organized by intent (creational, structural, behavioral), architectural patterns (MVC…
Systems programming from memory management through networking. Covers memory models (stack vs heap, manual allocation, garbage collection, ownership/borrowing), concurrency (threads, mutexes, channels, async/await, actor model, data races vs race conditions), operating system concepts (processes, virtual memory, page…
Active listening techniques for effective communication. Covers attending behaviors, paraphrasing, reflective listening, clarifying questions, empathic response, barriers to listening, listening in conflict, and cross-cultural listening. Use when building listening skills, improving understanding in conversation…
Interpersonal communication theory and practice for one-on-one and small group interaction. Covers communication models (linear, transactional, constructivist), self-disclosure and Johari Window, relational dialectics, communication climate, supportive versus defensive communication, feedback models, and adapting…
Media literacy and critical analysis of media messages across platforms and formats. Covers media ecology (McLuhan), encoding/decoding (Hall), news literacy, digital media analysis, propaganda techniques, algorithmic curation, visual rhetoric, and ethical media consumption. Use when analyzing media messages…
Systematic evaluation of arguments for structure, validity, soundness, and charitable interpretation. Covers premise identification, conclusion extraction, argument mapping, steel-manning, and the distinction between validity (form) and soundness (form plus true premises). Use when assessing an argument…
Recognition and mitigation of systematic reasoning errors documented in the heuristics and biases tradition. Covers confirmation bias, availability, anchoring, representativeness, framing effects, hindsight bias, overconfidence, and motivated reasoning. Each bias is presented with its mechanism, diagnostic signal, and…
Techniques for generating novel ideas, reframing problems, and escaping fixed mental models. Covers lateral thinking (de Bono), Six Thinking Hats, random stimulation, provocation operators (PO), analogical transfer, assumption challenging, and divergent-then-convergent thinking cycles. Use when the goal is to produce…
Structured approaches to decisions under uncertainty and complexity. Covers expected value, decision trees, multi-criteria decision analysis, System 1 vs System 2 allocation, pre-mortems, reversible vs irreversible decisions, and the distinction between good decisions and good outcomes. Use when choosing among…
