The Longflow Manifesto
No offense intended to the author, but it sounds like they&#x27;ve mistaken the purpose of their job. For most engineers, their job is <i>not</i> to produce exceptionally wonderful engineering.<p>It is to produce whatever god-forsaken clusterfuck is required to get the product out before the holiday rush. Or more generally to do whatever the business needs to do in order to keep making enough money to continue existing.<p>If engineering doesn&#x27;t directly serve business goals, maybe that business doesn&#x27;t really need that engineering department.
