>>10838447as an actual engineer in the valley, I've worked in a variety of domains including data science/data engineering, robotics, web apps, materials characterization, and microfab. And I'll tell you right now, that most people, from engineers to PhDs from elite universities, lack a deep understanding of anything they are working with, myself included. Everything these days is very black box, granted, you couldn't have the speed of development by spending the time to deeply understand what you are working with, but most people really only understand how things work at the most superficial level.
