What is the effective way to understand new repository in order to make the required changes in that repo?\

Every time, when my manager asked me to do some changes to the repository that is totally new to me. I became scared. \

I prefer to do research by myself first. But I got lost in the new repo by reading file by file, and don't get the clarity. \

From The Community

Rashmi K.

Senior Software Engineer

"Taro Premium was a no-brainer investment for me because mentorship is
something that I have really lacked in my initial years as a software
engineer. It has all the resources you need to excel, from how to
onboard to how to ace your 1:1s to building a growth plan."

Hari N.

Senior Software Engineer

"I'm being trusted by my team and manager so much more because I followed a lot of tactics from effective communication series. Rahul mentioned in a video that 'Promotion is about behavior, not output'. That sentence completely changed the way I look at career development."

Jack L.

L4 Engineer at Google

"I learned from my manager today that my promotion at Google from L3 to L4 is approved. Want to say THANK YOU to both of you! The Taro community you built is the most helpful resource in the software industry, and I feel so lucky to have a group of like minded engineers that I can learn from and share."

Kasey M.

Tech Lead

"Taro courses are able to distill years of experience down into clear, digestible, and actionable information. For an audience of engineers, it's unlike anything I've ever experienced."

Ryan K.

Engineering Manager

"My job satisfaction is much higher with the Taro community because I’m getting insight directly in my life, from big tech folks and Bay Area startups, without ever having worked there. I took several other online courses but it’s night and day difference in quality."

Sai B.

Founding ML Engineer

"I've been loving the job search course. I'm not kidding when I say that this is the best job search course I've seen. I love how each video has a really detailed response to pretty much any question I might have about the job search."

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Taro unique from the other engineering learning platforms?

From tutorials to documentation, there are countless resources that teach you how to code.

Instead of specific algorithms or languages, Taro teaches you higher level engineering skills needed to advance your career.

Taro dives into topics like: how to be an effective tech lead, how to onboard successfully, how to prepare for interviews, and more.

For too long, engineers have neglected critical soft skills and leadership skills. Yes, we also think Rust is super cool 🙋🏽, but articulating your ideas in a clear and concise way will pay more dividends.

These are the real skills that differentiate good engineers from great ones.

Taro is your secret weapon to build an enviable career.
Check out our expert-led on-demand courses and Q&A forum to see
what you've been missing.

How have engineers used Taro to advance in their career?

Check out 100s of reviews on our courses. Here's what two Taro members said:

I am absolutely fortunate to have found Taro. A structured way of getting mentorship is something I have been looking for all my professional life. I cannot wait to grow and share my success based on what I learned on Taro.

My manager has been dropping many hints that my performance was stellar last quarter. Taro Premium has made such a difference in how I operate and prioritize my time. I went from doing siloed projects with questionable impact to doing cross-org efforts with measurable impact.

Who are some of the industry experts on Taro?

We love seeing new contributions each week from experts : tech leads, directors, and experienced engineers.

Strong communities attract strong people: 1000s of engineers
have contributed to our Q&A forum, courses, and events.
You're the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with;
don't let one of those people be a knucklehead on Blind or Reddit.

How is Taro’s career content different from platforms like Blind and Reddit?

One word: credibility.

Taro differentiates itself from platforms like Blind and Reddit by emphasizing credibility and quality. While other platforms offer a broad range of discussions with varying levels of expertise, the content on Taro is created by verified experts in engineering.

Taro is intentionally transparent. By eliminating anonymity,
we minimize toxicity. Instead of "TC or GTFO 🤬"
we believe in "TC if we can better help you! 😊"

How often are there live Taro events?

Taro community members host career events several times per week.
Our events include formal presentations with experts, interactive sessions with
other members, and physical meetups in cities across the world. Many of our events come from members
like you! If there’s a topic you care about, let us know
and we’ll help you make it happen.

How can I access Taro content on the go?

We have mobile apps so you can take insights from Taro with you wherever you go! Check out our Android and iOS apps.

Is Taro free?

The Taro discussion forum is entirely free, and many of our events and courses are also free (and they always will be).

We limit deeper interaction to people who have joined Taro Premium. This ensures a commitment to career growth and keeps the community high quality.

Where can I get help?

Sometimes you just want to get feedback from an actual human. Here's
how we enable that:

First, we hold regular private Office Hours. These are informal ways to get your questions answered (live!) from industry veterans.

In addition, Taro Premium members get invited to our exclusive Slack community. Find referrals, practice mock interviews, or strike a conversation with engineers in FAANG or at startups.
