System design interviews have so far been a bit hit or miss for me. All the interviewers seem to be looking for something, but I’ll be damned if I know what it is.

I think I’m inclined to incrementally solve potential problems with the system (as introduced by the interviewer), where a lot of these interviews seem to want you to anticipate all issues.

So asking lots of questions about what they want is probably a first.
