That system programming round is brutal, I heard it's the one that trips up most people who only grind LC. Concurrency just doesn't get practiced enough.

Yeah exactly, I could've solved 3 more coding problems in the time it took me to even understand the round.

The fibonacci tree question came up for me too during my screen. Took me way too long to see the subtree size trick.

Sorry to hear it man. Concurrency prep is so underrated, most people just do arrays and trees over and over.

Congrats on getting the architecture round right at least, that one's usually the hardest for me.

Honestly the coding/algorithm rounds pulling from the same bank makes it feel redundant, but system programming coming out of nowhere is rough. Good luck next time.
