Summary: The author of the article proposes a theory that there are two types of software engineers: Type 1, who assume a problem is easy if it's not technical and can be solved by asking people to do something, and Type 2, who assume a problem is hard because it involves people. Type 1 engineers believe in Engineering with cold, hard truths, while Type 2 engineers embrace the fact that software is built with and for people, even though it can get messy. The author argues that it's precisely because of this messiness that the things we build become beautiful.
