End-to-End Arguments In System Design

web.mit.edu/Saltzer/www/public

Awesome paper clearly articulated.

This article reminds me how demoralising finding work feels for me sometimes. I wish I could put something on a résumé that says I appreciate this kind of system thinking. Who cares how many years of programming in a specific language, or which "well-known" companies someone has worked at? It feels like hiring journalists based on their years of experience with pencils.

When I hear people talk about system issues (e.g. complex microservice architectures) I thought it was all cutting-edge problems of cutting-edge tech. Looks like people have been running into the same things for decades!
