Something ingrained, that I realize now others do not have, is knowing the solution to failure is offering a better solution. I have tried shame I have endured compliance. I ground this axe years. You need the market to decide you've won. I sold modern policy baselines to fix user experience. I won.

I have lived as the vindictive policymaker. I was that person. Earnestly striving to make things better, vacillating between rage and despair. Completely morally just in context, but wholly empty in solution durable. I have been the emotions. And it produced nothing. Only being better mattered.

In the chaos of the undesigned, with understanding of possibility under an architect, you should be able to find optimization through vision. My job is Security Engineer, but my job is not Security. It's producing a better solution that is secure. Which is better because it simply is better.

As junior staff, you will misunderstand engineering and safety as in conflict. But they're not. You've simply approached the problem too late. Safe designs can be even more elegant. They can add complexity, but which eliminates absurdity and indeterminacy. You have to understand beauty first.

Have you ever read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance? If you haven't, I think you'd like it.
