Controversy (Part 2)
August, 2022
Some More Controversial Things I Believe:
- If you hear the phrase “Pencils Down” on a project, it’s usually not a good sign.
- Remote work doesn’t work. At least not when it counts.
- The best engineers thrive in chaos. The others freeze in chaos.
- In any group there will be a person that complains the most. That person is usually the least skilled.
- The best engineers are energized by problems. The others get bogged down in problems.
- Most engineers don’t understand the difference between accuracy and precision.
- Work life balance is mostly a distraction.
- The engineering design process is sometimes described as a “cookbook”. Like cooking, the Chef matters more than the book.
- This one’s a doozy. You’re always paid less than you’re worth. How else would the business be profitable.
