A tendency to systematize, formalize, and delegate/abstract/automate portions (or entirety) of problems IMO.

A tendency to analyze and solve problems rationally. Even if unfortunately it is not at all a rational problem at the time.

A tendency to (successfully) deep dive in a recursive fashion on problems. Ex: contractor is doing something weird, talk to the city inspector. City inspector refers to building code. Read building code. Work with contractor to bring up to code, or sic the appropriate regulatory authority on them.

Etc.

Similar to debugging something weird in someone else’s backend.
