The Revision Protocol
Chapter 16 gives the full protocol. Here is the summary:
- Weekly, five minutes: Re-read three Compression
Blocks from whatever you have read recently.
- Monthly, thirty minutes: Pick one framework
chapter. Cover the right column of the table and try to recall every
item by name.
- Quarterly, two hours: Run one system design using
all nine frameworks and all five architecture diagrams. Identify which
frameworks feel sharp and which feel rusty.
- Annual, half a day: Read the book cover to cover.
The frameworks will land differently with another year of production
experience behind you.
If you do only one of these, do the monthly. Thirty minutes, once a
month, will maintain fluency across all nine frameworks with no
cramming.
