    MIT 6.824 is a phenomenal, albeit challenging, deep dive into distributed systems. The lectures masterfully break down complex topics like Raft and Paxos. The labs, especially implementing Raft, are incredibly rewarding and provide invaluable, practical experience. A must-take course for any serious systems engineer.

    If anyone who had a hand in putting it together is reading, they have my thanks for putting out such an incredible course. I've done 2 labs and 5-6 lectures of this course so far and I find it absolutely worth it.
