Quotables #11

As an engineer, I have a soft spot for quotes that capture what we do. This one is both funny and true. Good engineers put together reliable ideas in new ways to do new things. But we far prefer not to use new ideas to do new things. It's risky.

"A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. "
