A great choice quote, and add to that LinkedIn as an engineering culture already heavily skews towards “craftsmanship” (as they call it) and refinement versus the larger industry. The speaker appears ridiculously unaware of how outlier his position is.
Do you want to wax the wheels of a title-winning race car or of a 1990 Toyota Camry that happens to be in mint condition? A lot of LinkedIn engineers I’ve met are the latter, and Microsoft is trying to push them into being the former. If you are The One True Master Wheel Polisher then sure maybe you get to choose your car, but don’t soapbox it. The audience is smarter than that (I hope).
