Today, software engineers need to know not only how to program effectively but also how to develop proper engineering practices to make their codebase sustainable and healthy. This book emphasizes this difference between programming and software engineering.

How can software engineers manage a living codebase that evolves and responds to changing requirements and demands over the length of its life? Based on their experience at Google, software engineers Titus Winters and Hyrum Wright, along with technical writer Tom Manshreck, present a candid and insightful look at how some of the world’s leading practitioners construct and maintain software. This book covers Google’s unique engineering culture, processes, and tools and how these aspects contribute to the effectiveness of an engineering organization.

You’ll explore three fundamental principles that software organizations should keep in mind when designing, architecting, writing, and maintaining code:

  • How time affects the sustainability of software and how to make your code resilient over time
  • How scale affects the viability of software practices within an engineering organization
  • What trade-offs a typical engineer needs to make when evaluating design and development decisions

This book opened my eyes on many software engineering principles. I especially liked that the principles explained are not just theory but field proven knowledge acquired by some trial and error but also by consequent analysis and thinking.

Highly recommended for any software engineer or team leader who wants to create maintainable and scalable software.

Really insightful for any software developer

einige Kapitel fand ich langweilig, dafür waren andere um so spannender.

Ich bin dankbar, dass Google die Erkenntnisse der letzten Jahre in diesen Buch/Hörbuch veröffentlicht.

Super

Nothing really new or special. All advice is too general. I expected far more from Google employees. Speaker can be used to fall asleep easily.

Wasted time and money

It’s all really general,
No interesting tech-content
At the end waste of time.
Wouldn’t recommend it.

Not worth it

After reading the book I still do not know who is the audience for this book. Describing complex things and then bumps you down to what is version control. I found the start very enjoyable but very soon became tutorial based on what is version control, what is testing etc. it may be useful reading this book if you are at start of your career but overall book full with boilerplate and boring if you have a bit of experience

For some things very basic for some very adavanced
