Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be a Go developer to try this?

Basic Go knowledge helps, but if you know any language with concurrency (Java, C#, Rust), you'll pick it up fast. Each challenge includes interface templates.

Will this help with system design interviews?

Yes. 80% of senior+ interviews include coding a distributed system component. SDT gives you hands-on practice with the exact patterns asked in FAANG interviews.

How is this different from LeetCode?

LeetCode = algorithms (single function). SDT = system design (concurrent components). Different skills, different interviews.

What if I get stuck?

Wave 2 members get priority support + community Discord access.

Can I practice for free?

Yes. 2 challenges stay free forever. No credit card required.
