In 2019 I started the Crossover Project, where I studied how software and "real" engineering relate by interviewing people who've worked in both. 17 interviews, 12 hours of recordings, and untold hours editing later, I'm finally ready to share my findings! hillelwayne.com/post/crossov…
This is part one of three. Part two, on the similarities and differences between the fields, goes up Wednesday. Part three, about what lessons we can learn from them, goes up Friday.
I started writing a sequel to Atlas Shrugged, of course as a human being it will be necessarily be colored by my perspective and experiences but I have tried to do my best to stick to the spirit of the original and I think it picks up pretty seamlessly
The first essay of the Crossover Project goes up tomorrow. I've sunk an unreal amount of time into this: finding people, hours of interviewing, transcription, analysis, writing, editing. I should feel excited, but I'm mostly just relieved.
