A fun project doesn't need to be original, IMO. URL Shortener is still one of the most popular System Design questions, building this project is a great way to have some experience / understanding of it, for example. | ||

> A fun project doesn't need to be original, IMO. I agree. But a URL shortener with a twist isn’t just fun, it’s funny. The joke—as opposed to the usefulness—is what’s interesting about it. But when the same joke is overdone, it’s no longer funny. > building this project is a great way to have some experience / understanding of it | ||
