Engineers often care too much about technology. Why? They aim for perfection and forget that impact comes from solving real problems. Here’s the shift that makes all the difference: 👇 Instead of focusing on the tech itself... 1️⃣ Identify a problem. 2️⃣ Propose a solution. Perfection isn’t the goal here; progress is. 3️⃣ Iterate relentlessly. You’ll fail (a lot). That’s by design. 4️⃣ Showcase your results when you get it right—and move on to the next problem. Impactful engineering is about solving problems, not perfecting technology. Focus on the problem, not the solution 💡 - You don’t need the latest state-of-the-art tools. - You don’t need to overengineer every detail. Instead… 👉 Build things that don’t scale. Test them, break them, and when they work, then build for scale. The art of impactful engineering lies in knowing when to keep it scrappy—and when to go big. #engineering #dataengineering #machinelearning #dataanalysis #careeradvice

In engineering, it's often the "HOW" that makes all the difference, not just the "WHAT." Effective execution, thoughtful approach and an understanding of WHAT NOT TO DO defines the engineering success of any product. There are no big billion ideas. It’s the execution which makes simplest of the idea turn into a big billion business. An Engineers success story speaks volumes about these key pillars - Putting HOW ahead of WHAT. The kind of tech stack you choose , choice of algorithm, choice of architecture, balancing different tradeoffs during choices are all the HOW type of questions which predominantly defines the engineering success in the long run. - Having an understanding of WHAT NOT TO DO is as important in any Technical decision making as much as having an understanding of WHAT TO DO. It’s just helps setting up a stronger product base and avoids running into major problems as the product grows. #EngineeringExcellence #StrategicExecution #Innovation #ProfessionalGrowth

UNPOPULAR OPINION: To be an excellent engineer, you have to be LAZY. Hear me out. Most challenges faced today are deeply rooted in the core fundamentals. Take, for instance: ✅ Repetitive Tasks: Automation is the hero here. Investing time to create automated processes makes everything else a breeze. ✅ Code Optimization: It's like tidying up a messy desk – streamlining code makes everything work smoother and faster, with fewer touch-ups needed. ✅ System Design: Building strong, scalable systems means less time spent on constant maintenance and troubleshooting. ✅ Communication: Clear, detailed documentation reduces the need for repeating explanations, saving time and frustration. ✅ Testing: Thorough testing catches issues early, saving the headache of extensive bug fixing later on. Embracing a 'lazy' mindset in engineering isn't about cutting corners; it's about working smarter, not harder. And that, my friends, is the key to engineering excellence. What else did I miss?

The Two Hardest Problems Engineers often joke that there are only two intractable problems in engineering… 1. Naming things 2. Off by one errors If you know anything about engineering, you know that this isn’t far from the truth. However, the truth is also that… Oftentimes, half the battle for business and product leadership can be disambiguating and naming things well. Names are very, very powerful. Obviously, they are essential to creating easy symbolic handles that people can use to refer to complex concepts or objects quickly. However, names, if used precisely, can be far more potent than that. They can also be used to… 1. Clarify the utility of a concept or entity E.g. Movie Search Page 2. Clarify the distinguishing characteristics of the given concept or entity from other concepts or utilities (particularly those that could be confused or conflated together) E.g. General Movie discovery vs Movie Search 3. Motivate and animate everyone toward a shared vision E.g. Movie Search 2.0 - Featuring Next-Gen Ranking 4. Imply a namespace for adjacent concepts that fit together - helping to map the concept space E.g. Movie Search, Movie Recommendations, Movie Rankings 5. Help drive important and implicit understanding in the problem domain E.g. I never mentioned the company I'm referring to in the examples, but I bet you could guess which one would have such features/concepts in their product. These few examples clearly show that naming things carefully can be a superpower for product and business leaders. It can be a key technique to accelerate everything from internal discussions, consensus building, and team alignment to external product marketing and sales.

Fascinating chat with a CTO on Monday: "Our engineers are amazing. Our systems are solid. But as we've scaled, understanding production got harder and costlier, not easier." This keeps coming up: The best architecture in the world still needs human-readable observability. Growth is when "works perfectly" and "understandable quickly" need to be the same thing. #Engineering Learning
