On “Raft Visualization”
MIT online trainig has this great YouTube playlist on distributed systems, with one of the lectures being on RAFT 1,2,3. The entire playlist 4 is probably worth your time, though. 1 Intro link 2 Part I: link 3 Part II link 4 Playlist for the course: link to this video

On “Ask HN: Recommended books and papers on distributed systems?”
Not a book nor a paper, but MIT has published their recent Distr. Systems lectures0 on youtube. Haven't finished it yet but it touches on papers that stood the test of times. 0 link to this video

On “Stanford CS Curriculum 2021”
Not from stanford but I enjoyed these: MIT 6.824: Distributed Systems link to this video CMU The Databaseology Lectures link You essentially learn systems by looking at lots and lots of examples of how good real world systems are designed.

Intro to Database Systems by Andy Pavlo - link MIT 6.824 Distributed Systems by Robert Morris - link to this video Designing Data-Intensive Applications (DDIA) - link Crafting Interpreters - link > What made it so special these break down really complex topics and make the concepts approachable. As a noob, I learned a lot from these.

On “Distributed systems programming has stalled”
Good resources for understanding Distributed Systems: - MIT course with Robert Morris (of Morris Worm fame): link to this video - Martin Kleppmann (author of DDIA): link If you can work through the above (and DDIA), you'll have a solid understanding of the issues in Distributed System, like Consensus, Causality, Split Brain, etc. You'll also gain a critical eye of Cloud Services and be able to articulate their drawbacks (ex: did you know that replication to DynamoDB Secondary Indexes is eventually consistent? What effects can that have on your applications?)

On “Java is better than C++ for high speed trading systems”
Web backend work at scale is all about building and maintaining distributed systems. Just consider the company where Go was designed ... And indeed, it's still a language of choice for teaching systems design1. 1 MIT 6.824: Distributed Systems - link to this video
