As a heads up, this is a review of "Software Engineering at Google"[0]. Not first hand account of someone who worked there in case you are into that sort of a thing:)

Vague question. What do you mean by "standard"?

Have you considered the SWE book?

I like the differentiation that engineering is programming integrated over time. [1]

To be a programmer you need the direct hard skills of coding literacy, analytical and logical thinking, combined with enough grit and creativity to see a problem through to completion. If you have that, you'll be a decent programmer, but you may not be a good engineer.

Engineering requires the maturity of thought to consider your actions and your solution over time. It requires more wholistic thinking and not just from the tech architecture point of view. Human soft skills tend to be more important over these time scales: communication, empathy, humility, courage. It's these skills that sustain success.

I'm looking for reviews as well. FWIW, there's a list of table of contents available here: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/software-engineering-at...
