Summary

The difference between good and great engineers` is shaped by the people you hire, the traits you reward and celebrate, and the culture you build. Good engineers are ambitious and determined, simplifying code to make it clearer and easier to work with, debugging quickly without superstition, helping others be great, knowing what's valuable, and being creative and positive. These traits are essential for building a high-performing engineering team that can drive growth and innovation.
