Reading other people’s code is a powerful learning tool. Code search enabled that for me during my time at Google, of course, I had to look at Jeff Dean’s code.
One of the most useful internal tools at Google: Code Search "Sometimes I would not even look through my own IDE, I would just type 'cs /xyz...' " From @thecaringtechie who worked at Google for 5 years. Fascinating how Google's *internal* code search is also as good as it gets!
Excellent post from the amazing @TheCaringTechie earlier today relevant to this discussion: "Lessons in Leadership from Formula 1: @KristianHorner vs @TotoWolff_" ... thecaringtechie.com/p/lessons-in-l… cc @F1 @F1Movie #F1TheMovie @RedBullRacing @Ferrari
Seeing engineering managers, sr EMs, directors - folks who are technical but were not too hands on recently - leaving current jobs, starting a startup, building the first version of their product… thanks to GenAI tools Not seen it happen at this scale before. A big change!
The more I use ChatGPT, the more frustrated I become with Siri and Google Assistant. Ask a simple question? “Here’s what I found on the web.” Try to set something up? “I’m not sure I understand.” Google & Apple get it together!
Happy to hear you found my latest article useful!

An internal tool completely unique to Google - with nothing similar across any of Big Tech, or other large companies: Memegen @thecaringtechie explains what it is, and why it's uniquely "Googley":
All engineering managers can confirm, the number one quality they wish their software engineers had is: Being proactive. When you’re proactive, you’re helping your manager help you. Trust me, your managers will notice and appreciate it.
What is "Borg" - a platform heavily used inside Google, to this day? @thecaringtechie: "At the time [2011-2016], I had not seen being able to dynamically allocate jobs, resources, clusters and all that - anywhere else. (...) It felt like a lot of power!"

The design doc culture at Google vs Uber via @thecaringtechie (formerly at Google and Uber): Google: "They wouldn't even talk to you if you didn't have a design doc. You couldn't just walk up to someone and say I have this idea. Their response: where's the design doc?"
