> A big engineering endeavor is more like an artistic endeavor that takes multiple people, like a giant sculpture or mural or something, than it is like a construction project. The right way to do it, imo, is to put your faith in a tech lead and a trusted team to deliver it in a timely fashion, and then step back and let them work. My heart wants to agree, and I think that up to a certain level for internal projects you can do this. But at some point that’s just not possible from a business perpective. Can you imagine going to your client and saying “you know that project you’ve paid us 150M$ for? Don’t worry about it, Bob’s on it, he’s the best. See you in 3 years’ time for the launch!”
