"You're in an interview with Microsoft's AI security team. They ask: "Prompt injection is a huge threat. How would you design a robust defense system for our new AI assistant" You say: "I'd use a regex to filter keywords like 'ignore your instructions'." Chaos 🥵 Instead here's what you should do 👇"

"Your job isn't to build a system that never fails. Your job is to pre-program your system's crisis response plan. Do you prioritize correctness or do you prioritize uptime You must decide what your system will do when its different parts can no longer talk to each other"

"Prioritize Consistency (CP): The US and EU servers cannot sync the inventory. They don't know who really has the last phone. So they both return an error. "Sorry unable to process request." Your inventory is perfectly correct. But you just lost a sale and frustrated two customers"

"So the real design question is this: "What is the business cost of being wrong versus the business cost of being unavailable" For your bank account balance the cost of being wrong is catastrophic. They choose Consistency. For your social media "like" count the cost of being unavailable is higher. They choose Availability"

"A classic example: A team builds a new social app on a single powerful database. On launch day the "timeline feed" feature (99% reads) gets slow. Users refresh frantically. The database read load skyrockets locking tables. This prevents the "posting" feature (99% writes) from working. The entire system grinds to a halt because one pattern choked the other"

"A senior engineer diagnoses the access patterns first. The Feed (Read-Heavy): Architected for broadcast. Use a fleet of read replicas and a multi-layer cache (CDN Redis). The goal is to serve copies without ever touching the primary database. The Post/Like (Write-Heavy): Architected for ingestion. Use a message queue (like Kafka/SQS) as a shock absorber. The application accepts the write in microseconds and moves on while background workers safely persist it to the database. Two features two entirely different architectures"

"You're in a ML Engineer interview at Anthropic and the interviewer asks: "Your team wants to make our LLM an expert in a new domain. Do you recommend fine-tuning or building a complex prompting strategy" Here's how you approach 👇 Most candidates pick one and list its pros/cons. It's not an either/or choice. It depends on whether we need to teach the model new knowledge or control its existing behavior. This is the fundamental framework: Knowledge Gap Fine-Tuning: If the model fundamentally lacks the information (e.g. internal company documents a new scientific field) you need to embed that"

"You work for a site that drops limited-edition sneakers. Tomorrow you're releasing a shoe. There are only 1000 pairs in stock. A million users are on the product page waiting. The timer hits zero. Your system is instantly hit with 500000 concurrent requests to "add to cart." A simple UPDATE inventory query leads to a massive race condition. In the chaos the system oversells 5000 pairs. Its a PR and logistics disaster. How do you design a system that can handle this traffic and sell exactly 1000 pairs without crashing or overselling"
