I don't believe there is "complete" as much as there is "well-rounded", which is what I aim for, personally.

Well by definition 'complete' means to "the greatest extent or degree". So a complete SWE would need systems knowledge. But is anyone really a complete SWE? Even people that are experts in systems probably aren't complete because they don't know AI.

So we aim for well-rounded. That's the best we can maintain.
