What's a Software Engineer?

What product engineers do


  1. Tell good from plausible. This is about controlling the quality of the output.
  2. Pick the right tool. Don’t get stuck with your own expertise. Look over the fence.
  3. Steer agents. Learn how to work with AI. Context and harness engineering.
  4. Own the outcome. Output quality is not enough. Build the right solution.
  5. Build & run something. Be accountable when things go wrong.
  6. Show up. Get out there, talk to people, build networks.
