Seeing Both Sides

Jeremy Zawodny writes, “It’s a rare engineer who can see both sides of the coin: the technology and its application toward achieving a company’s business goals.”

“However, there’s a stranger breed … the engineer who … has little trouble explaining how his work supports the company’s broader goals…”

I think as we put the .com era behind us and as engineers from that time mature, you will see more and more of this “odd creature” — at least I hope so (sans the part about the “difficultly communicating with the more common engineers” :)
