Your Strengths Are Your Weaknesses

How engineering strengths and weaknesses are two sides of the same coin

This insightful article explores how an engineer's greatest strengths and most significant weaknesses are often two sides of the same coin. Through personal examples and practical frameworks, the author demonstrates that traits like coding speed or collaborative nature can be both beneficial and problematic depending on context. Engineering leaders will learn to reframe performance discussions, provide contextual guidance, and leverage team diversity by understanding that the goal isn't to 'fix' engineers, but to help them become self-aware and strategically apply their natural tendencies.
