Engineering generosity

Sid talking about meeting a hero of his: he wants to help them achieve what they are setting out to be doing. he doesn't deserve to be here and he didn't think there would be an opportunity to meet these people, but somehow there is?

The mysterious unseen path to reaching people who do the work you find beautiful.

An alternate dream of engineering: people who are math-fluent who work with math. People who understand the beauty of it. People who want to use their comparative advantage to enable.

Take as an antidote to ENGINEERING AS CAPTIVE DISCOURSE:

You need to converse with the mathematicians if you want to write a proof assistant for the mathematicians.

An enabler, where that is a virtue.

You need enough of the language to start speaking the poetry.
