Session
One of the worst interview questions is "how would you design and scale Twitter from scratch on a whiteboard?" This is a very complicated question and typically used to gauge your knowledge of how things scale. This is also something that is limited to folk knowledge, so in this talk I will show you how you get from "humble beginnings" to "globe spanning monstrosity".
