Level Up Your Code Quality As A Software Engineer [Part 14] - How To Handle Migrations

There is term called "promotion-driven development" where software engineers propose big refactors and migrations to look good but don't fully follow through. This is especially common in Big Tech. This lesson will teach you:

- How to do code migrations properly
- How to judge the quality of a codebase based off of its consistency and how "good, modern code" can actually be harmful to the health of the codebase overall
- The mental and operating model behind how new engineers code, which is especially important if you're a tech lead (never forget this!)

Anybody can write code, but few can write truly good code. Code quality is arguably the biggest differentiator when it comes the market value and impact of a software engineer.

Becoming a tech lead is the most common growth path for software engineers as they grow to senior and staff levels.

Taro offers advice for tech leads who want to manage their projects or teams more effectively

A tech lead is responsible for guiding multiple software engineers throughout the execution of a project. They usually have many years of software engineer experience and system design knowledge to help them navigate through complex software engineering situations. They work with multiple stakeholders to ensure that a project is delivered on time. They also set expectations for deliverables and quality of the project.
