Hi, I'm calling BS on your reply.

One of the authors (Karen Sun) is the CTO of a tech company.

Also I had the chance of working with her (for her, really) and I can tell you that A) she's definitely an engineer and B) she knows her way around code and stuff.

I'm sure she's very intelligent and is probably great at coding. All I meant by that comment is that she is not currently a software engineer by title, she is a CTO, and the stuff mentioned in the article may be more relevant to founders/CTOs.

Sorry, but being an engineer is different than knowing your way around "code and stuff". Being an engineer is also different than being a computer scientist or programmer. The authors studied arts and mathematics, but that didn't stop them from starting the post by making it look like its written by engineers:

"Early in our careers as engineers, we’re told to invest in technical skills."
