John 2.0 Activated

Make your team unstoppable, not dependent—like the best engineers do.

We'll cover the following...

You’ve made it. You now hold the keys to the kingdom John built, duct-taped and promptly abandoned.

We’ve covered a lot in this course, but the biggest Staff-level skills boil down to this:

  • System Design: Building for clarity, reliability, and change.

  • AI engineering: Using automation and intelligence to amplify human insight, not replace it.

  • Data fluency: Knowing how to turn information into product leverage.

  • Security and observability: Designing for trust, from uptime to integrity to traceability.

  • Product and influence: Turning technical judgment into team velocity.

  • Multiplier habits: Building systems that scale your impact and make others better.

In short: you’ve learned to be reliable without being the bottleneck—the true mark of a Staff+ engineer.

So take the energy you once spent reverse-engineering John’s secrets and use it to raise the bar for your team. Automate the toil, teach openly, and build systems that survive vacations.

And of course, always keep leveling up.

Keep leveling up

Tech doesn’t wait for anyone; you can’t reach Staff+ by standing still.

If you ever need a hands-on place to level up in every vertical, from System Design to generative AI and data Science, we’ve got you at Educative.

Whether you’re mid-level, Staff, or Principal, you’ll find hands-on courses, projects, and interview prep that make skills stick, with live code editors and adaptive AI mentors that guide you as you learn.

You’ll find:

  • AI courses covering everything from prompting to RAG to agentic design patterns.

  • System Design courses covering every base from reliability to AI System Design to Frontend System Design.

  • AI mock interviews to help you hone your interview performance with instant AI feedback, no matter your level.

  • Real-world projects so you can expand your portfolio with production-grade systems, tackle edge cases, and showcase your design thinking.

  • New courses added weekly, written by PhDs, MAANG engineers, and practitioners who’ve actually built what they teach.

Thanks for joining us—and enjoy the journey, John 2.0.
