There is a saying in engineering.
Anyone can build a bridge.
It takes an engineer who can build a bridge just strong enough to let cars cross it.
Oh man, as a (non structural) engineer I love the saying
"Any asshole can build a bridge, but only an engineer can barely build a bridge"
I’ve heard it as “Anyone can build a bridge that stands, it takes an engineer to build a bridge that barely stands.”
Never heard that one. Sharp.
Razor sharp, just like the safety factor of that bridge
