  • A critical part of our success is our willingness to fail in ways that won’t compromise the mission, as long as we are constantly learning from our failures.
    —Jeff Dexter, SpaceX software team


quote Berger engineer

An engineer’s life consists of staring down one technical problem after another, fixing this or modifying that, in an interminable quest to make something work. Sometimes failure necessitates a wholesale redesign of a system. Then the whole process repeats itself: Design. Build. Test. Fix. Retest. Redesign. Retest. And so on. All in the hope that, one day, you will reach a point where everything, finally, more or less works.
