"I'll be talking about holistic engineering or the practice of factoring in your technical decisions, designs, strategies, all the non-technical factors that are actually forces that influence your organic socio-technical problem space. As much as you can see in this canyon how natural forces have influenced the shape of the earth, so you can see the color. You can see all the different layers."
"In the same way, if you look from this perspective, you will be able to see how forces independent from your control have actually designed some of your software and your architecture. This is a brief overview of what we'll be talking about. I'll just give you a little background about myself and introduce you to some of the issues that I've seen in the wild in projects."
Holistic engineering requires factoring technical designs, decisions, and strategies together with non-technical social, organizational, and environmental forces that shape the socio-technical problem space. Natural-force analogy shows how external forces produce visible layers and forms in software and architecture independent of direct control. Engineers commonly occupy roles such as software engineer, architect, tech lead, engineering manager, principal engineer, and consultant across diverse companies, domains, and tech stacks. Recurring behavioral patterns and project problems, including misaligned deadlines and late delivery, emerge across contexts. Practical approaches and project-level strategies can be applied to surface, understand, and incorporate these non-technical forces into design and decision-making.
