Great timing and submission, thank you for posting!
I&#x27;ve been meaning to get more in depth knowledge on distributed systems, but despite having access to several academic (text)books, I felt overwhelmed and didn&#x27;t know where to start exactly and what sub-topics I might want to focus on.<p>Just downloaded and sent to Kindle &#x27;Distributed Systems for Fun and Profit&#x27; as a free PDF written by an engineer currently working for Stripe, a book recommended in the article. It&#x27;s only 62 pages and doesn&#x27;t feel intimidating!
