How swamysarchitectjourney-2026/system-design-playbook works
This repository is a curated system-design learning and interview-practice playbook, not a software runtime. Its user workflow is iterative: build design fundamentals, study reusable patterns and distributed-system concepts, revisit decision frameworks and deep dives, analyze canonical systems or construct a design, then practice defending it in interview drills. The README documents these learning relationships; source excerpts were unavailable, so the graph represents documented navigation and use rather than implementation calls.
