alt Hacker NewsI'd argue that once you have a very well defined requirement doc that mostly kicks humans out of the picture, as well as a patient boss who doesn't want anything ASAP or "Tomorrow morning first thing", engineering is not that hard, and is almost...enjoyment.

A well defined doc evolves over time. it gets sharper with real-world scenarios, incidents, and experiments. Before Voyager 1, we didn’t have that kind of experience. You can’t predict everything upfront.

I’d argue that you must not be working on interesting problems if you think that “engineering is not that hard”

like in "fast pacing environments" with "flat hierarchies" and "agile mindset"? :-D
