英文原文
This book discusses all of these topics: policies for an organization and for a single programmer, how to evaluate and refine your best practices, and the tools and technologies that go into maintainable software. Google has worked hard to have a sustainable codebase and culture. We don’t necessarily think that our approach is the one true way to do things, but it does provide proof by example that it can be done. We hope it will provide a useful framework for thinking about the general problem: how do you maintain your code for as long as it needs to keep working?
本书讨论了所有这些主题：组织和单个程序员的策略，如何评估和改进最佳实践，以及可维护软件中的工具和技术。Google 一直在努力打造可持续的代码库和文化。我们认为我们的方法不一定是一种真正的做事方式，但它确实提供了可以做到的实例证明。我们希望它能提供一个有用的框架来思考一般问题：只要代码需要继续工作，您如何维护它？
