Without Leetcode, you cannot pass interviews.

Without side projects, your resume will not stand out.

Should you focus on LeetCode or build another project? To get your first job, you need a mix of both.

But the real problem? Many people don’t know what to build.

I’ve been there too.. motivated to start coding but stuck staring at my screen, Googling "best programming projects" and eventually ending up watching YouTube videos instead.

This cycle continues until you start building.

To break this cycle, here’s a list of projects to boost your portfolio + DSA patterns to crack coding interviews.

If anybody is saying System Design is overrated in software engineering ask them to give few interviews be it for SDE/SDE2/SDE3 role.

They quickly realize that mastery of DSA alone won’t land the job at top PBCs.

You can pass System Design Interviews even if you’ve never designed distributed systems before.

If you have copied files between machines with drag-and-drop, you are halfway there. If you implemented clients or servers or have opened network connections, you’ve got this.

*Still relying on DSA & Java to secure your future?*

That might’ve landed you your first job.
But in 2025, it’s not enough.

Companies aren’t just looking for people who can crack coding rounds.
They want engineers who can design scalable systems, optimize real-world performance, and think beyond the IDE.

Knowing Java and solving Leetcode isn't a differentiator anymore.
It’s the bare minimum.

If you can’t talk about system architecture, distributed design, or cloud-native workflows --you’re already falling behind.

Because the dev next to you:https://bit.ly/4jo3Z5Z

DSA a day can keep interview rejection away.

Yes practicing at least one question a day can help you crack any SDE interview.

I wanted to learn Software Engineering so I watched 500+ videos on youtube.

80% of them were complete waste of time.

But these 10 playlist will teach you more skills than a 4 year degree.

I thought I had to learn everything. Turns out, I just needed to learn what matters.

Meet Rohan — a smart, hardworking developer. But every time he sat down to prepare for system design interviews, he felt lost.
So many topics. So many buzzwords. So many videos.
And still… no clarity.

He spent weeks trying to understand it all — only to get confused, frustrated, and burned out.
Sound familiar?

That’s when Rohan found a different approach.
A smarter way — not harder.

Instead of diving into everything, he focused on the 20% of topics that cover 80% of real interview questions.

With a simple 4-step roadmap, real-world examples, and 50 hand-picked questions, he started feeling confident.

He finally understood how to think in a system design round.

2 weeks later, he cracked his dream job.
No more guesswork. No more overwhelm. Just focused learning.

If you're like Rohan, trying to figure it all out — this guide is for YOU.
