The Most Revolutionary Microsoft Technology You’ve Never Heard Of
It is also yet another reminder that the top one percent of engineers are of an entirely different ilk than the rest of us. It’s not that the quality or quantity of their work is untouchable (though it comes close); rather, it comes down to the completeness of their work and the ease with which they do it, like they were jumping over a puddle. Capable of glimpsing a sublime solution to a problem and sketching it up without syntax errors in the back pages of a Moleskine notebook, the top one percent of engineers are the technological equivalent of a three-year old solving a Rubik’s cube or a twelve-year old scoring symphonies for the New Haven Symphony Orchestra. They can bind creativity to purpose and realize it with great fidelity.
