Viral X thread lists eight interview-ready projects (auth system, Redis rate limiter, etc.)

- A viral X thread listed eight practical, interview-ready projects: auth system, Redis rate limiter, URL shortener, WebSocket chat, Stripe payments, e-commerce backend, job portal and API gateway. - A separate tiered post expanded backend ideas into ten graded projects covering auth from scratch, file uploads, payment webhooks, job queues, feature flags and multi‑tenant backends. - Both lists were shared as actionable alternatives to pure LeetCode work for demonstrating real engineering chops on X.

I couldn’t verify the posts from the provided X links. X pages did not return usable content through browsing, and search did not surface independently accessible copies of the threads or their exact text. If you want, paste the thread text or screenshots here and I’ll turn it into a clean standalone explainer thread immediately.
