An year older and little bit more experienced
I recently celebrated my 29th birthday and have completed 8 years in the tech as well.
It has been a rollercoaster ride both personally and professionally.
I had imposter syndrome lately and was feeling like I would not be able to perform well and get DNME (Do not meet expectations) in the next review because of many personal issues that were affecting my work.
But I fought on both and came back strong, you may have noticed that my social media engagement has also decreased because of it.
But this morning in the 1:1 with the EM he said you have shown massive improvements in your keep it up.
Life has its ups and downs, from sleepless nights to good sleeps and laughter you should be strong and try to hold on to the feelings as much as possible.
I will be slowly resuming things, solving more problems than ever, resuming YouTube videos, and adding more content to alpha.learnersbucket.com so you get all the resources in a single place.
I gave a 10% flat discount (use coupon code BOOK10) on the course on my birthday, if you missed it, I have enabled the coupon code again and it will be available till this weekend.
Enroll today and get lifetime access to the course.
I also shared an insight on media streaming recently on LinkedIn, give it a read.
Media streaming is one of the most dominant verticals in web development currently and as a frontend engineer you should have a good understanding of how streaming on the web works if you are preparing for interviews.
There are 3 ways to handle Media on the web
- Standard HTML Tag
- Media source extension API (MSE)
- Encrypted Media Extensions (EME)
Media source extension API is the most popular and common as it allows for ad insertion, better control over media, the creation of custom players, and the provision of gapless playlist streaming one after the other.
EME is built on top of MSE and it provides content or digital rights protection used by Netflix and Spotify on the web to prevent content theft.
It uses Encryption to secure the data.
I have 3 frontend system design questions related to media streaming on alpha.learnersbucket.com
Designing web applications for video streaming like Netflix and Youtube
Designing web applications for music streaming like Spotify and Gaana.com
Designing the video conferencing web applications like Zoom and Google Meet.
They are engineering marvels and while writing them when I was doing the R&D I realized there are so many things that I am not aware of yet.
Thus I have written those structured articles so that you can learn at a single place.
