Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

It seems the world has redefined what it means to be an engineer.

A recent story on the web discussed how Twitter will change the appearance of its home page. Involved in the story is Twitter’s Vice President of Engineering.

I am an engineer; I have been an engineer for several decades. I don’t understand why the VP of Engineering is involved in a change in how a home page looks. I understand how graphics designers and such would be involved, but really, the engineers?

Perhaps someone can enlighten me on this one.
