Book synopsis

This open access book takes a deep dive into the depths of modern engineering practice. With wit, precision, and just the right amount of indignation, this book exposes the creeping rot behind today s glossy prototypes, frameworks, standards, and fads. From the problem of early productization to the (dark) art of faking requirements, each chapter is a no-nonsense autopsy of how brilliant ideas die under the weight of bureaucracy, reuse fetishism, and corporate theatre. This is not a book for those content with JIRA tickets and PowerPoint deliverables; it s for engineers, managers, and decision-makers who still care about making things that actually work. If you ve ever screamed internally at the sight of a 3,000-page spec or watched a project derail under the guidance of a consultant who flies business, this book is your manifesto. Sardonic, sharp but hopeful, Engineering is Broken seeks a cure, starting with the radical idea that common sense, humility, and technical courage still matter.
