Does anyone still have language requirements? I did my Google interviews in Perl and wrote mostly Java and Go there. At my current job, our codebase is all Go (expect frontend) and pretty much nobody we hire has prior Go experience. Prior experience is almost a curse these days. I learned Go by having the Go team review every one of my CLs for a year. Now I do Go code reviews and think "that simply isn't done, I would never have been allowed to check that in", but often have a hard time supporting my arguments. (When Effective Go, Code Review Comments, and Test Comments fail me, I usually resort to snippets from the standard library. "This pattern appears 0 times in the standard library, I don't think we should use it." It's a lot of work, but I will say that a few things I thought were simply never done are actually done. And that's my standard; I hate it, but Go itself did it to implement Go, so you can too.) Side rant: I guess the Go team stopped doing this. Read Kubernetes for the current state of Go at Google. Wow. |
