Level Up Your Code Quality As A Software Engineer [Part 1] - How This Course Works

It is so easy to get completely overwhelmed as a software engineer with so many possible skills to learn. This video (and broader course) will solve that dilemma for you by explaining why code quality is the #1 skill for software engineers. Here are the core parts of the lesson:

  • Code quality is the technical foundation that helps you learn every other necessary skill as a software engineer, both the technical and non-technical ones
  • Your instructor Alex Chiou walks you through his extensive 10+ year Silicon Valley background across top companies like PayPal, Course Hero, Meta, and Robinhood, explaining how code quality was an integral part of his success (he was a Top 5% code committer + lander at Meta).
  • We go through the objectives of the course. By the end of the course, you will:
    • πŸ”Ž Understand what good code looks like (and doesn’t look like)
    • 🌱 Set up the right growth mentality around code quality
    • πŸ’» Learn how to submit a quality pull request
    • 🍝 Avoid common messy code patterns (and how to fix them)
