Technical Highlight: Celebrating Systems Engineers in Our Community
This week, we join in celebrating Systems Engineer Day — a day set aside to recognize the life-changing efforts of the technologists who design the systems in our lives. Systems include both the behind-the-scenes architecture and interfaces we interact with every day, from hospitals to education to amusement parks. Every day, we benefit from the unseen work of these engineers and on November 25 we say thank you!
This week, we’re highlighting sessions from our YouTube channel on systems design and engineering.

Pro-Tip of the Week
“When working with legacy systems, don't be constrained by how it is today. Think about all the things you would build if it did not exist today and iterate on the system to take it to the future state.”
