I try to make a balance between reading the book "Kafka: The Definitive Guide - 2nd Edition," doing Confluent course lab exercises, and a little bit of Udemy projects with Kafka as well. In the middle of the week, I'm making my homepage to showcase some portfolio stuff, which is not my priority at this time, but it involves a lot of coding as well.
Feeling like I can answer any interview questions about Kafka at this point, including the fundamentals, use cases, and examples of writing a pub/sub system in Java.
It's all about studying; it magically changes you inside and out. You're the same person, in the same place, but now capable of creating really good software with refined techniques.
