Something else I read someplace (so it must be true!) is that Google has maniacally strict rules about what programming languages are allowed and that everything must go into company-wide version control. If that's true, and if they also have good code-conventions, I can see how that would have a magnifying effect on productivity and technology improvement.
- nostrademons 17y agoIt's generally true for production code. For prototyping we can use whatever we want. Typically you don't want to build off prototype code, though.
- DocSavage 17y agoAs for code conventions, you can see some style guides here: http://code.google.com/p/google-styleguide/ http://code.google.com/p/google-styleguide/ Not sure if they're the same as internal conventions, but I imagine they'd be close.
