develop a small project

sooner or later there will be a bottleneck of some kind.

analyze and fix that bottleneck and make a mental note of the cause. next small project you design remember the cause of that bottleneck and design appropriately.

thats how i worked my way up from projects that fit on a single machine to designing a multi k8s cluster system for a fortune 500. just remember how you fucked up in the past and dont make the same mistakes
