System Design Reads

Has anyone cracked a sustainable yet effective system design learning growth plan here besides working in a full time 5 day wfo job?

Not looking for a job search purpose, but to truly learn the system design in depth.

I have tried:

  1. Reading company system design blogs: Besides a blog or two, all blogs feel very random since they talk about very specific use case in a tech that I haven’t worked with.
  2. Reading DDIA book: Book seems good but goes in really deep to everything, so can’t read for long in a sitting.

What have you tried?

Mostly the playlists only focus on interview kind settings only, that’s why don’t prefer those a lot, but certainly will check above ones for sure.

Thank you.

Advice regarding system design
