>you create a blueprint of something like a bridge and you don't start building the bridge until the blue print is done. Then the bridge building process is reasonably predictable and structured because you already solved all the problems

Which is hilarious, because nothing in the real world works that way. My BIL is a civil engineer and he spends tons of time traveling to sites to solve problems that pop up during implementation.



Exactly, which is why "as-builts" are a thing.


So are implementation problems of civil engineering the equivalent of prod problems in software engineering?
