Where does engineering go? Retreat findings and insights [pdf]

This PDF retreat breaks from big-data orthodoxy, achieving 49 points and 18 comments with a contrarian thesis: 76% of scale-focused engineering projects fail to deliver measurable craft improvements. Compared to Jemalloc un-abandoned by Meta's corporate-undermining theme, this document provides a more data-driven roadmap, citing 14 specific case studies where scaling back complexity yielded 30% faster iteration cycles.
