Pure and Impure Software Engineering

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-27 02:07:05

Why do solo game developers tend to get into fights with big tech engineers? Why do high-profile external hires to large companies often fizzle out? Why is AI-assisted development amazing for some engineers and completely useless for others? I think it’s because some engineers are doing very different kinds of work to other engineers. Those two types of engineers often assume their counterparts are simply incompetent, but they’re really just working in different fields. Pure and impure enginee

Why China Builds Faster Than the Rest of the World

There’s never been a shortage of hot takes about what really makes the United States and China so different: Capitalism versus socialism; democracy as opposed to authoritarianism; Christianity or Confucianism; equity versus efficiency.

Struggling between the comfort of an individual contributor (IC) role and the desire to move into software engineering leadership? It’s a tough fork in the road that many engineers face. The idea of stepping away from hands-on technical work to move into leadership requires mastering new skills, stepping into the spotlight, and strategic thinking.
