1
Systems thinking.
2
That's it.
3
You can end the video right now.
4
Every programming era had its own hot skill,
5
whether you were writing Java in the 90s,
6
PHP in the 2000s, Ruby in 2010,
7
and in 2026, aside from token maxing, it's systems thinking.
8
But what exactly is systems thinking?
9
It's understanding how each part of a system interacts over time.
10
Think of it like this.
11
You work at the Krusty Krab,
12
you can make a banger Krabby Patty,
13
but that's only one feature of the Krusty Krab.
14
How do they scale to a thousand Krabby Patties per hour.
15
What happens when the fryer breaks?
16
Or worse, Patrick is your waiter.
17
Systems thinking has its roots in biology,
18
and it can be applied to many different fields.
19
Supply chain management, market dynamics,
20
traffic, and of course, software engineering.
21
Nowadays, anytime we hear systems and programming,
22
we immediately think of system design interview questions.
23
But that's only a part of it.
24
Systems thinking and software engineering have an old relationship,
25
and it's only getting more prominent as time passes.
26
And I have some charts to back it A16Z published this graph showing software jobs are going up.
27
I personally hate these graphs.
28
Not because I'm Mr. Dario,
29
I was meant to replace you 24 months ago, agentic pilled.
30
But I hate seeing these graphs because it doesn't clarify what kind of software jobs are going up.
31
Do you really think the demand for Pascal developers is going up?
32
Really, bro?
33
Thankfully, there's always a programmer with some spare time and a banger blog that did the research for me.
34
This graph shows off the number of job postings by each job title.
35
Look at the top three.
36
They all develop carpal tunnel, but also systems.
37
Look at machine learning engineers.
38
They use tools like PyTorch, Kafka, Kubernetes.
39
They use these tools to build stuff like fraud detection algorithms,
40
which can analyze millions of transactions so your credit card isn't used in Belarus to buy an iPhone.
41
The fraud detection algorithm is a system.
42
Similarly, data engineers and backend engineers,
43
when they're not gluing APIs together, they're building systems.
44
The ability to think in systems is so hot right now.
45
Anthropic has a section on their careers page just for infrastructure software engineers.
46
Even the latest jobs coming out of the GPT wrapper factories.
47
They're about making the use of LLMs more efficient, which is a system.
48
Hopefully I've sold you on the importance of systems thinking,
49
so now you can go learn about it.
50
Learning systems is harder than anything else in programming,
51
since you can't just replicate the scale of millions of users.
52
Except, there is one way.
53
Playing Factorio.
54
I'm not even kidding.
55
Factorio is a game where you learn how to build systems.
56
For those that are unaware,
57
the premise of the game is that you crash land on a planet,
58
you need to build a rocket to escape.
59
To build that rocket, you need to get resources.
60
To get those resources, you need to build systems and get really good at building them.
61
Factorio is the most underrated way to learn about large-scale systems and actually get some experience,
62
because it teaches you about impact,
63
bottlenecks, and how to continuously improve a large-scale system.
64
There's this amazing video by Tony Zhu that goes over the relationship between Factorio and software engineering.
65
Another unconventional way of learning about systems thinking is by watching Kevin Fang and reading the Cloudflare outage postmortems.
66
If you want a more conventional method,
67
you could always read this excellent book called Thinking in Systems by Donella Meadows.
68
Now if you're absolutely insistent on building a project,
69
you can look up public repositories of massive datasets and use that to stress test your project,
70
whether it's by benchmarking how quickly you read and write to the database,
71
or seeing if your front-end code can actually handle that much data.
72
Fundamentally, systems have always been a part of software engineering,
73
and it is the strongest skill you can learn right now,
74
whether you're into back-end, front-end, or even game dev.
75
Understanding how something as granular as your code fits into the bigger picture will always be valuable.
76
And hey, at least you have an excuse to get good at Factorio now.
77
You'll also get more time to play Factorio by using the sponsor of today's video,
78
Convex, the backend platform that keeps your app in sync.
79
In modern programming, you're not really just programming anymore.
80
You're spending half your time coordinating between your frontend,
81
backend, database, and whatever other shenanigans you have going on.
82
I'm not judging, but essentially you've been reduced to the dude in front of the orchestra with the pointy stick.
83
Not anymore though, Convex finally lets you build again.
84
Instead of gluing services together,
85
your backend is just TypeScript functions.
86
You write functions to read and write data,
87
and Convex handles a database,
88
APIs, and syncing between everything automatically.
89
And look at this sync bro, so smooth, so crispy.
90
And is that real-time updates between two users?
91
Convex fits right into the TypeScript ecosystem you're already using,
92
and you can also use it it with a few friendly faces.
93
No more raw dogging squeal,
94
no more glue engineering, no more cash invalidation,
95
and no more shadowboxing with your app to keep it in sync.
96
You owe it to yourself to go to bigboxsweet.dev slash convex.

Informazioni su questa lezione

In questa lezione, ci concentreremo sul concetto di **sistemi di pensiero** (systems thinking), una delle competenze più richieste nel campo della programmazione nel 2026. Imparerai non solo il significato di questo termine, ma anche come applicarlo nel contesto del lavoro, specialmente nel campo dell'ingegneria del software. La lezione ti permetterà di esplorare l'interazione tra le diverse parti di un sistema e comprenderai l'importanza di una visione sistematica nel risolvere problemi complessi. Questa è un'opportunità ideale per migliorare la tua **pratica di conversazione in inglese** attraverso il **shadowing**.

Vocabolario e frasi chiave

  • Sistemi di pensiero - L'abilità di comprendere come le varie parti di un sistema interagiscono nel tempo.
  • Ingegneria del software - Un campo che si occupa di progettare, sviluppare e mantenere software.
  • Algoritmo di rilevamento delle frodi - Un sistema sviluppato per monitorare transazioni e identificare attività sospette.
  • Ingegneri di machine learning - Professionisti che usano strumenti per costruire sistemi intelligenti.
  • API - Interfacce di programmazione delle applicazioni che permettono la comunicazione tra diverse applicazioni.
  • Dimensione dei sistemi - Il modo in cui un sistema può gestire una richiesta crescente.
  • Scalabilità - La capacità di un sistema di crescere in risposta alla domanda.

Consigli per la pratica

Quando pratichi utilizzando la **tecnica di shadowing**, è essenziale seguire l'andamento naturale del discorso. Poiché il ritmo della video lezione può variare, ti consigliamo di focalizzarti sulla comprensione del messaggio globale invece di bloccarti sui singoli dettagli. Inizia a ripetere frasi chiave dopo averle ascoltate, e non avere paura di rallentare il video se necessario. Concentrati sull'intonazione e sull'emozione dell'oratore. L'atteggiamento sarà essenziale; assorbi le emozioni trasmesse e cerca di emularle quando pratichi. Utilizzando un **shadowing site** o ascoltando direttamente il video, potrai affinare il tuo **shadow speech**. Questi passi ti aiuteranno a migliorare la tua fluidità nell'inglese e a rendere il tuo approccio più naturale e sicuro.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
