Engineering Map
Everything a senior engineer is expected to know
What it does
573 topics across the browser, React, backend, data, distributed systems and building with models. Every page says what a thing is, why it matters, and points at the best three to five things to read next — 1,415 links, hand-picked and re-checked on a schedule so they don't rot. No account, no ads, no upsell. Open source: MIT code, CC-licensed writing.
A knowledge map for senior engineering interviews — browse a subject, drill down, follow the links out.
The browser, React, backend, data, distributed systems and building with models — mapped into 573 short pages that each say what a thing is, why it matters, and exactly where to go next. The browser, the language, React, and what it takes to ship UI that holds up. Services — how they're designed, secured, kept running, and observed. Designing systems at the whiteboard, including the AI-shaped ones. Building real things with models — the differentiator for these roles. How work actually gets done on a team, and the senior-level version of each. The half of the loop that isn't technical, and where senior candidates most often lose. Not a summary of a summary. Every topic opens with one…from theengmap.vercel.app

I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
