Helloooo!
This is my first video on the topic of Career - Job Shadowing where I follow people at work to learn more about what they do. My hope is that this video and the future ones will offer you a useful glimpse into the different career fields if you are considering them.
In this video, I am following Neil Fraser - a senior software engineer at Google - to see what his typical workday looks like during COVID-19 quarantine where a lot of people have been working from home. The video also includes some of Neil's tips for aspired software engineers out there!
Besides being a software engineer, Neil also does a lot of cool projects, and occasionally, he'd upload videos of what he does on his channel: / odo987 . Check it out!

@@masterDarts4188 Yes, in my everyday work I have to solve problems and bugs, without knowing what is the cause of the bug, or how to implement the new feature, I have to investigate how to create it, or how to replicate a bug and how to fix it. It takes reading, testing, more reading the documentation, analyzing code, what that code does, and why it was implemented that way. Is that way because is something new that you have to create, so no one knows how to, it's your job to do it. For example, the client wants some new feature, say a new window that displays some info from the database, so you have to be able to create the window and where to get that info, so investigate the database, investigate how to create that window, where it will be accessed and how. Coding is almost 40% reading code or documentation, 50% investigating, and 10% writing code. You would be surprised how you spend 2 or 3 days investigating something, and then write 4 lines of code, and it's done.

@a0flj0
@a0flj0 3 жыл бұрын
In fact, ruthless consistency across the codebase is an illusion. You always have to integrate some foreign code that doesn't conform to your conventions. Or someone gets sloppy with a few commits. Or coding standards change. It simply doesn't pay off to keep a fully consistent codebase. Unless you make so much money you don't know what to do with it. Plus, any sane conding standards, at least with regard to formal stuff, such as @returns vs @return or indents or brace placement can be fully automated. You could even have a commit hook that does that for you. That's not the kind of consistency that matters. What matters is a consistency that's impossible to check via automated tools: logical consistency. Not correctness, mind you. Consistency in how you use data structures and algorithms and locks and the like. If you see the same search problem solved in ten different ways in the same codebase, or if you need to remap data structures to pass them across different modules everywhere, all formal consistency is worthless, and that codebase is a maintenance nightmare. Last but not least, you don't get consistency easily via code reviews. Consistency comes from getting people on a team to code in the same way. You might speed up the process via draconian code reviews, where commits are rejected for ever so slight deviations from formal requirements, at the cost of a lot of frustration and wasted effort. Where consistency comes from, IME, is a team working together for a few years, learning from each other, and effectively, at some point, starting to code in a way which makes it impossible for outsiders to tell who wrote what, by just looking at the source code.
