I get a lot of questions about Google's architecture so I figured I'd drop a detailed design here

To write good code, you first have to write a lot of bad code.

As a Software Engineer, don't compare your progress to others. It either leaves you feeling behind or ahead â neither of which is very helpful.

Coding never came easily to me, but it's safe to say, I'm glad I stuck with it.

The best software engineers have one thing in common and it's not knowledge of a specific language, framework, or technology. It's the ability to grok new information quickly and efficiently and apply it to a problem.

If you have unit tests you can safely refactor. If you don't, you can't.

Nothing in software engineering is intrinsically hard to grasp. Concepts become hard to understand because they're built on countless others. If you don't understand something, the problem likely stems from your knowledge of an underlying dependency, not the thing itself.

I got good at coding by accident.
I âaccidentallyâ struggled through a four-year computer science degree.
I âaccidentallyâ studied the many things I didn't understand in the library for hours each day.
And I âaccidentallyâ pursued becoming better at my craft for an extended period of time after college.
If you also want to âaccidentallyâ get good at coding too, be intentional about your time and the decisions you make; it's worth it.
What did you do to get good at coding? đ

Most coding tasks can be accomplished with two simple things:
1. Reading
2. Patience

Programming languages are just tools to build things. Saying one language is the best is like saying a hammer is the best; it doesn't make sense. Choose the best tool for the job. The âbestâ tool will change depending on what you're building.
