Hi Fishes,

Recently I was asked an interesting question in a system design round for a company. Please take a look and help me understand how do you solve the problem?

Question - Design an sms service to send messages to 1 million customers

Requirement - upload a csv of 1 million contacts and on clicking send send the sms.

Limitation - 1000 contacts/minute

How would you design this system, considering we have a hard limit of 1000 contacts/limit?

Do people tend to age out of wanting to FIRE?

In your 20s-30s, you don’t know much, you’re told what to do, you have few financial resources so you are tied to your job. Under these circumstances it makes perfect sense why you would want to FIRE asap.

But eventually you advance up the ladder, you are now the boss and your people do all the grunt work. You also have built up expertise which makes the job easier. And you are making the best money of your life. FIRE is no longer so pressing.
