The article is pretty average, and goes to great lengths to say very little, with some questionable analogies and examples. But near the end, there is a gem, which is the introduction of the Hub and Spoke design. Now Plugin architectures ar

That's not true. Cracking the coding interview first came out in 2011 for example. I interviewed prior to 2012 and was asked to do leetcode style questions. So at least in big tech, it's been this way since prior to 2012.

To be honest, building something on your own time is very different, in that, it's much easier. You start from scratch, you can pick something you're interested in building and maybe also feel you can succeed at. You make up your
