Interesting read. Proves especially salient in the context of startups. "Good" engineers are valuable. As-is, they're not too easy to come by, but in no short supply in the Bay Area. Good engineers who know a thing or two about product, strategy or design are far rarer: "unicorns" as the author puts it. The same applies for those that can not only churn out app code but author the automation tests to validate it, then configure a CI server to deploy it to a cloud environment that they've configured. You don't come across too many of these guys and gals but every company wants them; startups, especially struggling ones, altogether _need_ them.
