2/5 Earlier this week I mentioned that Systems Engineers are the ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ holding the universe (the project) together against the expanding force of ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ด๐ (scope creep and stakeholder requirements).
But when we zoom in too far, when we obsess over the syntax of a SysML block, the formatting of a document, or the setup of a tool ...
.. We stop being the dark matter. We become just another spinning rock.

3/5 We forget that ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ท๐ผ๐ฏ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐๐ผ๐ฟ and not to play every instrument. Over the last few weeks Iโve been having private conversations with ambitious early-career engineers who are stuck in this exact trap. They know the academic theory and the software tools, but they freeze when trying to apply them to the messy reality of their jobs.
