remote system design interviews have their own unique challenges, especially when it comes to whiteboarding. drawing on tools like Excalidraw or Miro can feel clunky and slow compared to a physical whiteboard. i often find myself spending too much time trying to make diagrams look clean, which detracts from the actual discussion. what are your best tips for remote system design interviews? are there specific tools you prefer that strike a good balance between functionality and ease of use? how do you balance the need for clear diagrams with the imperative to talk through your thought process and design decisions?
