In my first dev job (fantastic job - 4 person startup!), it was writing code, all day, every day. But when I moved from there to Google and after, as I got more senior I was reading a lot more code. And that was so hard. It was only at Google that I really understanding what a huge codebase means (and all the unexpected challenges that come with that). But it turns out that reading code is super important in any team that has multiple coders -- if for nothing else than the code review process requires reading code. And...understanding the system. Something I really got to understand because of the fast-paced growth at Chainlink. I did an episode of my podcast - EASIER SAID THAN DONE (AND HOW TO DO IT) a few weeks ago, and shared me learnings (including a linkedin survey I did!) that indicates just how much time engineers spending reading code rather than writing it. And why that is such a critical skill. You can find the full episode on Youtube (handle @zubinpratap) and also on Apple and Spotify.
