“Good engineering is often less about what one team can build and more about what their work enables others to achieve. The best engineering takes complexity out of the way, creates strong foundations for others to build on, and ultimately delivers outcomes that matter to customers and the business. It should also stand the test of time, continuing to scale as teams and organisations grow.
What truly matters is judgement, curiosity and the ability to think beyond the problem in front of you to understand the outcome you are trying to create and work backwards from it. As AI makes building faster and more accessible, that engineering judgement becomes even more important: knowing not just what to build, but why it matters and what impact it should create.
On Engineers’ Day, I want to celebrate the engineers whose work creates leverage for everyone around them helping teams build better, solve harder problems and turn engineering effort into meaningful outcomes.”
