fads come and go but idiocy is forever

this guy didn't write a blog post, he wrote the preface material for a training module to be sold to the least-competent HR execs he can find

it is generally a bad sign when you set out to taxonomize all possible productive behaviors. in this case, possibly a worse sign is that this guy has two "clusters" making up eight "foundational skills." for perspective, when Immanuel Kant set out to taxonomize all possible human experiences, he came back with four "clusters" of four "skills"

apparently engineering management encompasses the same complexity as half of all possible human experiences, from tabula rasa. good to know, i guess

(perhaps obviously, i did not read the essay any further than the introduction of "eight foundational skills" in "two clusters." at that point clearly I am being sold nonsense, and I feel free to stop reading and just poke fun at the author instead.)
