Okay, got it! You want this README to clearly state that this repository is your personal space for honing software engineering skills. Here's a revised README that emphasizes your personal learning journey:
This repository is my personal space dedicated to solving various coding challenges. My primary goal is to sharpen my software engineering skills, deepen my understanding of computer science concepts, and gain hands-on experience with practical system design. Each challenge I tackle will have its own dedicated folder, containing my solution along with notes and insights from my learning process.
- Source: codingchallenges.fyi
- My Focus: This challenge is helping me understand the fundamentals of distributed systems and network programming. I'm building a basic application layer load balancer to learn about efficient request distribution, high availability, and fault tolerance.
- Key Aspects I'm Implementing:
- Basic Proxy Server: Learning how to listen for incoming connections and forward them.
- Concurrency: Practicing handling multiple client connections simultaneously.
- Round-Robin Scheduling: Implementing a classic algorithm for distributing requests.
- Health Checks: Understanding how to monitor backend server health and dynamically manage available resources.
- My Solution Folder:
load-balancer
Feel free to browse! If you'd like to run any of my solutions, navigate into the respective challenge folder. Each one will have its own README.md with specific instructions on how to set it up and run it. Generally, you'll need the relevant programming language runtime installed (e.g., Python, Go, Node.js) and any project-specific dependencies.
- Deepen Understanding: Really solidify my grasp of core computer science principles.
- Improve Problem-Solving: Get better at breaking down complex problems and designing effective solutions.
- Learn New Tech: Experiment with new languages, frameworks, and tools as challenges demand.
- Build a Portfolio: Create a collection of practical projects that demonstrate my growing abilities as a software engineer.
