This piece dives into the idea that the qualities of a great software engineer—like clear communication, curiosity, and problem-solving—aren't just individual traits but the same ingredients that make entire engineering teams thrive. It’s a reminder that scaling good engineering isn’t about rigid processes but fostering the right mindset across the org.
What This Means: In an industry obsessed with tools and frameworks, this story cuts through the noise by focusing on the human side of engineering. It matters because teams often get bogged down in technical minutiae while overlooking the softer skills that actually make collaboration and innovation possible. If you've ever wondered why some teams just "click" while others flounder, this is a refreshing take on why culture and mindset might be the real magic behind great software.
