When I was a young engineer, I would be aware of the project I was working on, and the technical details. But nowadays I work on the level where I have to be aware of macro economics trends: I am tracking how different countries will be recovering from Covid19, how adjacent industries are doing, how the US-China trade war is affecting technology exports. My understanding of technology goes as far as performance metrics, value prop, schedule. I no longer have the time or inclination to dig into technical details, I leave that to the youngsters.
