In depth technical books, like for example[1], are very rare these days. Competent people are busy building systems, frameworks and making money. Some of these guys are talking on various conferences, but IMO just to present themselves to various companies. To put it simply they are mostly in a business of selling their time.

Systematic approach of learning particular topic through the books is deprecated these days. One of the ways to expand knowledge would be building stuff. If you are into distributed systems, implement something small and build upon that (i.e. implement raft[2] or build distributed rate limiter). There will be many problems and I'm sure you will learn a lot along the way.

Are we getting smart or following trends ?
