As an example of good programming practices, he quoted Google. What I found amusing was everything we did then was exactly the negation of what is being done in Google. The up-side for me is all these things I realized were unproductive and complained loudly to the management. Even though nothing was done and I left, but I am glad at least I tried.
Here are some examples (as according to Stevey):
- Most Google managers code at least half-time
- Schedule pressure is minimum, at least there is no Gantt chart floating around
- Developers are encouraged to spend 20% of their WORK hour on their own projects. Please note I high-lighted 'work' to signify these are real working hours, instead of weekend or evening hours
- There aren't many meetings
- The work space is quiet

"The Google Story" tells you more!
Yeap, but even this small piece of information is good enough, google is great because it cherishes its people. Most companies don't seem to care about their people, this puzzles me.
