Comment on Ask HN: How to become a ridiculously good back end staff eng?parent

Comments

This seems to be an amazing quality. Would you say that his work is sharable across users or are they too specifically tailored for himself (maybe a bit too "write only") or very specific to a task?

He writes very generalizable stuff, and has an uncanny sense for picking the right blend of extensibility and concrete behavior. That is, he doesn’t get bogged down in ‘what if’. but at the same time his stuff usually can be extended without too much trouble.

The only drawback is he documents very little, and as a consequence you have to be willing to dig through code to get the value out of his work.

Sounds like something to aspire to!
