A day in the life of a Google Software Engineer | Work-from-home Edition 

Bruh.. 😂😂

@KingReplica He is a dad 4:27

@KingReplica did you even watch the video my guy? damn stupid ass comment LOL

Hahhahaa

He says he corrects code as a hobby for “fun” after work. So i have no reason to doubt he indeed is the kind of dude who answers questions in S.O

Neil out for blood 😂

Lol he commented 😂

Yeah, and then in 5K lines of code he doesn't like the @returns. so lame

Ha, then the copyright. Great contributions

I mean it is a day in the life, not the day in the work.

I do that too. It helps on a psychological level

And here's me dressed up to go to sleep for the work place...

Well yes but actualy no

Depends on your setup actually. I prefer wide monitor where I can open multiple files at once. I'm curious how he tracks multiple function calls across multiple files / imports, exports :D

It’s debatable if that is really a better approach or not when dealing with a long pr.

@@uzairakram899 i'm definitely not going knit pick on whether it should be return or returns. There's not enough time in my day and i don't have to brainpower to keep doing that

Hah! I love this video, and surprisingly my day is identical to that of a Google Engineer! (Complete with after-work bike ride.) And, we share a similar hate of long change sets.

@@antoinealez12 Agreed, not on the approving aspect but return vs returns, no way Im wasting energy on such trivial bs. Although, being Google, they likely have internal tooling that depends on little things like that staying consistent

@@Terszel my suggestion is to just use a lint tool and add that to the system to automatically handle many such cases by running it when the pr is send. Probably takes care of 75% of the problem ?

I bet the same thing applies to any other companies out there. Not just Google.

I think it's interviews to make his life easier.

@@supercoolmunkee Nope. I participated in an interview once in 6 years at my company, and it's a big one. Even then, I wasn't really asking any questions. If the department are on a hiring surge though, I guess it's likely. That largely depends on the turnover as well.

@@supercoolmunkee Yes it does. One of the reasons is mostly because you going to work with that same person. You have to be in the same "vibe" for the lack of a better word

What if it's a normal monitor that's just upside down. I mean vertically... It could be possible right ?

@@arunkhosh904 Absolutely. However most monitors are built with viewing angles in mind. So you may get noticable artifacts from left to right if you flip it by 90 deg. Search for "portrait monitors" for more information. Be well AK.

@@arunkhosh904 of course it's a normal monitor, just that it supports portrait mode

It’s called strategy.

Are we gonna talk about people on youtube comments reusing annoying phrases

Ask a software engineer a 10 lines code for review, he/she will say there are 10 problems. Ask a software engineer a 5k lines code for review, he/she will say LGTM.

What a stupid meaningless comment, you sir are stupid.

public your company source code on youtube and see what will happen :D

The fun part happens, when suddenly something is working after hours of tinkering with the same problem.

i agree with u. friend of mine every time we hangout he starts talking codes. it gets me appreciate my job as a personal trainer, where health comes first then money. i know programmers make good money but who cars how much u make when your life is always on stress.

@@milotxh I went from being in the military to a job where I sat at a desk for 10 hours a day. Man do I feel like shit now, and fat.

Yeah i was planning to take software engineering in college but i saw alot of videos saying not to take software engineering, no hate but i wouldn't want to live like that.

The voices and self talking is very true .... (but I still think its fun 🤷🏿‍♂️)

This is also true for structural engineering, every day basically starts with I have no idea what I’m doing or what the problem is, but let’s find out

Is that really true though ? It seems a bit odd to think after years of doing something you still learn something new with each day.

@@masterDarts4188 Well technology and problems differ a lot with time.

@@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.

@@Soul7aker Lordy, yes. Or spend weeks reading the architecture documentation to decipher what a 1000 line C source file does.

like gangster

Just to search "Why Bing is Thrash?"

well to be fair, he opened a air book, and i guess it's company property too, but why does it matter?

😂😂😂

😂😂😂

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.

@@a0flj0 Don't forget that the people who do any kind of enforcement of guidelines end up being hated. And good luck if you have teammates who don't speak very good English.

I don't think the person appearing in this video knows what the term "deadline" means. He's coding for coding sake.

@@Reelix Don't worry, he does know what a deadline is. Only, Google's culture is an engineering and an engineer-driven culture, and they won't prioritize deadlines over having the code the way they meant it.

Google probably has the best wlb in the industry. Less than other jobs even

Being a software engineer myself (albeit a very small one) can confirm this is indeed a very handy trick for a productive environment.

more like common sense. Ask financial controllers about monitors when dealing with isane spreadsheets, no one want to spent time going from one point to another with the mouse and mentally bookmarking the different places.

Yeah, it’s nice to have to big monitors. But I know people who work on just their laptop and it blows my mind.

@@f3nrir_ There's a point where increasing the monitor size causes more problems than it solves. The monitor in this video is multiple levels past that stage.

Dude nobody is going to memorize every single thing. Memory is not skill.

Moe Ron

there is no way you could memorize all the things even if you are senior software engineering in google

Brian De Marco That’s a good question, I’d love to know that!

He uses the left monitor for terminal actions (compile vb.).

@ShinräTensie The number "0o600" is written in "octal notation" which means each digit can only go up to 7 before wrapping around. Many computer languages support this, but it's rarely used (mostly for cases where each digit refers to some 3-bit entity). File accesses are one place where it is often used, so I'm surprised this guy has never seen it before...

How did you see this?! Omg lololloo

Thanks, now I feel mediocre with my 27 inch monitor.

seems about right

I think monitor size scales with seniority :)

Well wtf if you can't do it what hope do I have? I'm already 2 years after graduating college and majored in economics and hate it. I want to be a software engineer but only because of the money and status. What are you doing now for a living?

That's because the documentations are all on Google

Then when you go into a google interview, you get ousted & ridiculed for it by these very same so called google engineers.... 2 years ago google admitted that they ask impossible questions in the interview to purposely not hire ppl. They said they would stop asking rocket science questions. they have yet to keep their promise. My friend went for a google interview, she has 25 years experience coding & worked for IBM & other large companies. She said a 22 year old interviewed her and treated her like complete shit while asking her stupid rocket science questions that were impossible to answer. And she has 25 years experience. Meanwhile all these companies want people to get into coding, but dont really tell them the reality of life when it comes to interviews with these types of companies. and how 22 year old hold your career on their hands even though you have 25 years experience. She also asks why these companies whiteboard people expecting people to memorize every single code character, when in actuality white boards are not used on the job itself. Then many companies also say, "Dont memorize anything, just learn the fundamentals" , but yet they whiteboard you expecting you to memorize every single character in the code. while being white-boarded, and if you forget 1 character, guess what. you wont get the job while the 22 year old have you on a catch-22 method. Youre fucked.

@@TwstedTV ok

@@TwstedTV I do believe that they might do some shady things, but I think that the reason google can be as picky as they want is that they are one of the biggest tech companies in the world. For me, it is just like the SAT, in a way I do believe the SAT is done in a bad way when it comes to what people need to know and learn, but the SAT can test a person capacity to study and the results show how much a person has worked towards their dream school. For me it is the same for Google, their tests work as a filter, but due to their position as one of the biggest, it is a hell of a filter. Again, I do agree that the situation your friend has been through might not be good, but that may also be due to sheer bad luck when it comes to who got to do the interview and if they treated her in a bad way that is something worthy of a review or report to send it to them.
