  • That is part of it, but you also need to practice asking clarifying questions and collaborating around a solution. OP was pretty much guaranteed to fuck up their first go. It’s something that gets easier over time.

    Also, something that really messed me around was that System Design questions have a particular form and expectations around them. So read up on how they flow and practice those too

    Hear me out

    There are an infinite number of years*

    So stating the year first brings you down from infinite to 356.25 days, on average.

    If we then specify the month, we are down to 30** days

    But if we instead specify the day. We get down to 12** days, instead!

    TLDR: yyyy/dd/MM reduces our search space faster than yyyy/MM/dd.

    However, it’s also stupid.

    • true for our purposes, here ** ish
