## Why use it?

I'm following this plan to prepare for my Google interview. I've been building the web, building
170-
services, and launching startups since 1997. I have an economics degree, not a CS degree. I've
171-
been very successful in my career, but I want to work at Google. I want to progress into larger systems
172-
and get a real understanding of computer systems, algorithmic efficiency, data structure performance,
173-
low-level languages, and how it all works. And if you don't know any of it, Google won't hire you.

When I started this project, I didn't know a stack from a heap, didn't know Big-O anything, anything about trees, or how to
176168
traverse a graph. If I had to code a sorting algorithm, I can tell ya it wouldn't have been very good.

Every data structure I've ever used was built into the language, and I didn't know how they worked
178170
under the hood at all. I've never had to manage memory unless a process I was running would give an "out of
179171
memory" error, and then I'd have to find a workaround. I've used a few multidimensional arrays in my life and
180172
thousands of associative arrays, but I've never created data structures from scratch.

But after going through this study plan I have high confidence I'll be hired. It's a long plan. It's going to take me
183-
months. If you are familiar with a lot of this already it will take you a lot less time.

## Don't feel you aren't smart enough
241212
- Google engineers are smart, but many have an insecurity that they aren't smart enough, even though they work at Google.
