Have you ever wondered what the imperative skill of a Software Engineer is? Technology changes, new languages/frameworks keep coming up, thousands of legacy projects still need maintenance, contributions on open source projects are highly appreciated, and turnover effect is higher than ever. Being good at writing code is not enough to deal with all of them. Instead, Code Reading is the key skill that makes all of the above feasible. However, Code Reading is not easy. How many times have you struggled to read a legacy's project code without any assistance? What about reviewing others' code? How do you face cases when half of your team decides to leave and you have to handover their knowledge to the remaining team? Let's find out the importance of Code Reading skills, tips and tricks for upskilling your Dev team and ideas for understanding more about your candidates on a technical interview, by including Code Reading in the process, making it more fun as well. Code Reading is a skill on demand, it makes you effective and efficient and we all need it.
