Code conventions are important to programmers for a number of reasons 

- 80% of the lifetime cost of a piece of software goes to maintenance. 
- Hardly any software is maintained for its whole life by the original author. 
- Code conventions improve the software readability, allowing programmers to understand new code more quickly and thoroughly.

Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

##Google Interview Questions: Product Marketing Manager

• Why do you want to join Google? -- Because I want to create tools for others to learn, for free. I didn't have a lot of money when growing up so I didn't get access to the same books, computers and resources that others had which caused money, I want to help ensure that others can learn on the same playing field regardless of their families wealth status or location.
• What do you know about Google’s product and technology? -- A lot actually, I am a beta tester for numerous products, I use most of the Google tools such as: Search, Gmaill, Drive, Reader, Calendar, G+, YouTube, Web Master Tools, Keyword tools, Analytics etc.
• If you are Product Manager for Google’s Adwords, how do you plan to market this?
• What would you say during an AdWords or AdSense product seminar?
• Who are Google’s competitors, and how does Google compete with them? -- Google competes on numerous fields: --- Search: Baidu, Bing, Duck Duck Go

Coding Conventions

This file will cover important coding practices that are important to stress when coding this program. Listed below are some of the more important details that should be stressed. Each programmer has his/her own way to deliver code. The importance of having similar coding conventions throughout this program are listed below.

• 80% of the time spent on a piece of software goes to maintenance.
• Hardly any software is maintained for its whole life by the original author.
• Code conventions improve the readability of the software, allowing engineers to understand new code more quickly and thoroughly.
• If you ship your source code as a product, you need to make sure it is as well packaged and clean as any other product you create.

Configure Git to use a proxy

In Brief

You may need to configure a proxy server if you're having trouble cloning or fetching from a remote repository or getting an error like unable to access '...' Couldn't resolve host '...'.

Consider something like:

marianogappa

/*
This snippet is an example of backpressure implementation in Go.
It doesn't run in Go Playground, because it starts an HTTP Server.

The example starts an HTTP server and sends multiple requests to it. The server starts denying
requests by replying an "X" (i.e. a 502) when its buffered channel reaches capacity.

This is not the same as rate-limiting; you might be interested in https://github.com/juju/ratelimit
or https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/time/rate.

marianogappa

/*
Parallel processing with ordered output in Go
(you can use this pattern by importing https://github.com/MarianoGappa/parseq)

This example implementation is useful when the following 3 conditions are true:
1) the rate of input is higher than the rate of output on the system (i.e. it queues up)
2) the processing of input can be parallelised, and overall throughput increases by doing so
3) the order of output of the system needs to respect order of input

- if 1 is false, KISS!
