- Think distributed systems are one of computer science’s most beautiful subjects
- Care deeply about consistency, fault tolerance, and system correctness
- Enjoy designing systems before writing them
- Think latency, throughput, and reliability are all product features
- Read systems papers because they’re genuinely interesting
- Have strong opinions about storage engines, consensus algorithms, scheduling, or distributed architecture
