- renewiltord 3y agoThat's what engineering is about: creating value efficiently without causing inadvertent damage. When I have to risk lives in order to create value, I simply choose not to. Instead, I just create value without risking lives. Engineering. Quality. Cost/Benefit. Benefit/Risk. Not just slapping together metal and plastic while wearing an iron ring. None of these titles granted by men. Just physics, electricity, and my mind. It is precisely because I am less likely to kill people that I am a better engineer. Picking your battles is part of fighting.
