Recently I saw a comment or a tweet about Engineers and Doctors. This is the type of message that I wish I had the forethought to save somewhere because I keep thinking about it. As a follower of the beg, borrow, or steal philosophy, I have co-opted this idea into my own, but it is always best to give credit to the originator. In this case, I did not save it so I don’t have that information, so I apologize in advance, random internet person. Anyways, the message went something like this (as I recall in my own words): Why are Engineers always getting asked what side projects they are working on? Why is there an expectation that a good Engineer always needs to be working on work outside of work? We don’t ask Doctors if they perform surgeries on their days off or over weekend breaks, so why is…
