Year summary: bugs fixed, bag acquired. Finally got a bag after working for an year 😂 Thanks @GoogleIndia

@abshekha Loved reading it 💯

Recently completed 6 months at Google. I maintained a detailed work log of everything I did. This is helping me to reflect accurately without hallucinations. So, these pointers will be super personal, all the bouquets are due to my team's support, all the bricks, due to my shortcomings. > Google has a strong culture of documenting things. There is a doc for everything imaginable. There is even a doc for making docs. Lol. I haven't seen this in my past orgs. While this gives a great edge for ramping up, you'll get overwhelmed if you are not careful. Worked out super well for me, as I take my own time to dabble into things I need to learn. > Google has a gamut of internal tooling that you would need to learn for contributing meaningfully in your role. Maybe it is my team, but everyone was super supportive as I was navigating the complex maze of internal tooling & Spanner DB. Even people from other teams were super approachable. > Spanner being a pivotal product at Google, there is a huge opportunity to be a part of mission critical events. Been involved in some postmortems & learned a ton about dissecting distributed system's issues in detail. Think about working & learning with old timers (>20 years) who were there since the dawn of everything. > Extreme ownership. Given ample opportunity to drive charters & project pieces. This has never happened to me in such a short period of time. I associate this phenomenon with Googlyness. Great ideas often come out of side projects that people are passionate about. At Google, people embody this. > Working on such a critical project has challenges too. You need to move slow & smoothly for your changes. You can't expect to write a new query handler all by yourself here. Some people might feel that this will impede their learning but I look at this differently. Learning the best practices, deliberating about second order effects is not a trivial skill. You will learn a lot about this at Google. > Thinking about second order effects. No change is ever pushed out without a conscious thought about how it will scale for a billion users. This makes things extremely antifragile. > I haven't been to a company yet who puts having fun on their agenda. There are just too many outings & dinners. So it will fatten you up if you aren't too carful. Just like the food at office. It kinds of become meh after a while because you get used to it. > Front row to the exciting products & features. You get to dogfood a lot of products & services. The teams work on this feedback & actually make amends. > Trainings that are actually engaging. I've been attending a lot of trainings by seasoned Googlers who share their expertise in a very digestible fashion. Been enjoying becoming a little better engineer with every such session. In the last 6 months I've tried to be everywhere & ended up being somewhere. For now that is enough. Excited for the journey ahead. 🚀
