Yuna<p>True Engineering Isn't about using tools.</p><p>It's in the questions.</p><p>Too often, I see "engineering" reduced to assembling frameworks like IKEA furniture, follow the docs, trust the tool, ship it. But real engineering begins where the documentation ends.</p><p>Do you know what that smart-syntax language is doing under the hood?<br>Do you know how your beloved build tool behaves when it comes to automations and generic CI/CD pipelines?<br>Do you know what your "schema-less" database sacrifices when concurrency climbs?<br>Do you know how many runtime hacks exist to make your "native" build work seamlessly?<br>Do you know how your framework manages threads… or fails to?</p><p>Many don't. And that's the problem.</p><p>We've built castles on sand because the sand came with good tutorials. Engineering isn't about how much you can plug in. It's about how much you understand, especially the parts no one talks about.</p><p>If you're not asking, "What isn’t being said?"<br>You're not engineering. You're just believing and praying.<br>AI is a perfect example of many people which hype it but don't understand it.<br>You have incidents, bugs, complexity, legacy and need time for maintenance or migrations? Then you build your system wrong. Technology should help and not hinder us. We need to focus on simplicity, not on overengineering.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TrueEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrueEngineering</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ThinkBeforeYouCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThinkBeforeYouCode</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SoftwareCraftsmanship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareCraftsmanship</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/QuestionEverything" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QuestionEverything</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/BeyondTheFramework" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeyondTheFramework</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/UnderstandTheTools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnderstandTheTools</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/CodeWithPurpose" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CodeWithPurpose</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SimplicityFirst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SimplicityFirst</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/CleanArchitecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CleanArchitecture</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DevMindset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DevMindset</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/EngineeringNotAssembling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EngineeringNotAssembling</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TechWithoutMyth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechWithoutMyth</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/UnderTheHood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnderTheHood</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/CI_CDReality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CI_CDReality</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AutomationTruths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AutomationTruths</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/NoMoreMagic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoMoreMagic</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AskTheRightQuestions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AskTheRightQuestions</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AIWithoutUnderstanding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIWithoutUnderstanding</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OverengineeringKills" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OverengineeringKills</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/LegacyByDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LegacyByDesign</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/BuildForSimplicity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BuildForSimplicity</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/MinimalistTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MinimalistTech</span></a></p>
Chris Woody Woodruff<p>Simplicity isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about unlocking opportunities. Complexity slows decisions, hides innovation, and creates unnecessary friction. A Simplicity-First mindset clears the noise, making it easier to see and act on what truly matters. </p><p><a href="https://simplicity-first.dev/seizing-opportunities-through-simplicity/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">simplicity-first.dev/seizing-o</span><span class="invisible">pportunities-through-simplicity/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SimplicityFirst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SimplicityFirst</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BusinessGrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BusinessGrowth</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Innovation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Efficiency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Efficiency</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Strategy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Strategy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Leadership</span></a></p>
