I don't think their system architecture is a secret. This kind of stuff is regularly discussed in interviews.

    I think that is the rub though. If your interview pipeline has system design questions all based around your arch that someone just released a youtube vid dissecting, you're going to struggle to get signal out those interviews. False positive hires are arguably worse than false negatives.
