Becoming an Engineer: the “Build or Buy” Question
Update: 2024-03-06
Description
It’s a very old software engineering question: should we build the thing or buy the thing? Fred Brooks says "you should always buy." This may even be an existential question: my role is to build things, not to buy them, right? Why would I ever buy anything?
According to Mike, learning to answer the "Build or Buy" is an essential part of becoming a software engineer, so we'll try to answer it for you definitively this week!
Erik has been listening to Ovlov's Buds while Mike has been listening to Strings Attached: The Voice of Kannel by Anna-Liisa Eller.
