I love the idea of expert-curated learning paths - this is so much needed with the proliferation of all the competing MOOCs. Thank you for putting this together.

I've noticed that there's a growing demand for performance and reliability engineering types of roles in the tech. Can that become a learning path? The courses for that could be: 1. OS 2. Computer Networks 3. Distributed Systems 4. Intro to Algorithms 5. Intro to Statistics 6. <Some course on best practices of general systems-level troubleshooting?> 7. <Some course on best practices of software debugging?>

I know it sounds almost like a full-fledged MS program in CS. But this could be a great opportunity for those who are not enrolled in those programs but love systems in general and would like to make a career out of it. Apologies if this type of "learning path" makes no sense to most of the industry insiders.
