Systems Resurgent? by Amod Malviya

The past 2 decades has seen technology take the center stage of life in modern society. Progress in accessibility of software development and open source, allowed one to produce useful software without necessarily understanding how systems worked underneath. Using anecdotes from my professional life, I do a review of the effect of these past developments on engineering culture, and make an argument for why systems engineering is on a path of resurgence, emerging both stronger and more accessible, and how better abstractions on the systems side will lead to better engineering culture downstream, leading to better product design and experience for the end customers.
