Here is a problem that I have. Working on the operations side of things I've seen so many ways software can fail. If someone asked me to design a system, I would draw on my experience, and create a very safe, conservative design. Which would be immediately laughed out of the room. So, I feel stuck in my career and I don't know how to get out of this trap.

- taway1874 2y agoThere was a time not too long ago where software development was considered an expensive investment. Only companies with crazy deep pockets or passionate engineers with equity promises (think startups) could afford to work in such a profession. It was special. Over the last couple decades businesses have worked hard to commoditize it in every possible way leading to every Tom, Dick & Harry calling themselves an "engineer" and every "company" needing to have a software/web presence. It's become basic - like electricity. So while your experience in carefully crafting a viable design and erring on the side of caution would have been appreciated decades ago, it's just not the nature of the game today. Just take heart that your approach is that of a true engineer and not someone who will cheapen their work by slapping on something that works in a sandbox type of env.
