Engineers urged to compare system descriptions against state of the art

Original: I really like the idea of writing out a description of your system and then comparing it to the current state of the art

An engineering guide, 'A Staff Engineer's Guide to Inventing Work' by Sujith Jay, is being shared for its suggestion that engineers write out a description of their current system and compare it to the state of the art before inventing new work. Commenters in the engineering and infosec community are endorsing the practice as a practical way to spot gaps and justify new projects.

Why now: A new engineering essay recommending a concrete method for deciding when new work is worth doing is circulating among staff engineers.
