While "overengineering" is usually defined as making things too complex, I think it is a bit misleading, that's because simplifying, removing or making things cheaper is also engineering. In fact there are many well paid engineers who work full time simplifying things. As much as I hate the cult of Elon Musk, I have to admit that's one aspect of engineering he really gets, and I suggest you listen to his interviews with Tim Dodd / Everyday Astronaut, where he gets technical, trust me, it is not the usual bullshit. All that to say that "overengineering" is bad doesn't mean you shouldn't have a lot of engineers working hard on a problem. In fact, a lot of "ovengineering" is the result of not enough engineering. They picked a (complex) solution without thinking instead of really studying the problem. |
