Does anyone know of any good books for getting better at System Design that isn't web focused? Every time I look for "System Design" the books are about creating a highly distributed web app with SQL or NoSQL database, load balancers, and other web centric stuff.
I've spent most of my career fixing bugs or improving existing apps/systems in C++. Every time I interview somewhere they want me to design a (usually offline) program or service and I don't know how best to do that. At this rate I'll be stuck at Senior Engineer for the rest of my career. (I'm already 14 years in).
