I completely agree with you. As I’ve moved up the chain in engineering I’ve realized I suck at multi tasking. Constant reprioritization of tasks to focus on the urgent while also moving lower-priority ones forward has helped me accomplish short-term needs and slow-burning tasks.

Absolutely, whenever there is hardware in the loop, the more of the system you test with the more expensive the test is and the harder it is to isolate issues.

That’s not to say you can skip end to end testing, but the more testing pushed to the complete system level will drive up cost and schedule.

This is pretty cool. I’ll definitely be following the development of this. I was just starting to look at how something similar could be done using mermaid.js or plantuml.
