Two Types of Engineers¶
Resources¶
Type 1: "easy, we can just ask people not to deploy at this time"
Type 2: "wait, but what do we do when people deploy at this time?"
Takeaway: Even though the cold hard truths of maths and physics form the foundations of software engineering, at the heart of all engineering work, are people. Type 2 engineers design and build their solutions taking that into account.
Because, see, when it gets messy, that's where it gets real; that’s where the actual work begins, when you go from drawing board to actually shipping something of value and with impact to someone.
