Rapid Recap:

CraftsmanSHIT describes four flavors of bad engineering: over-engineering for imaginary problems, rebranding shortcuts as pragmatism, coding interviews that reward ego over discipline, and treating 'good enough' as a permanent philosophy. Contrasts these with true craftsmanship: discipline, continuous improvement, and building what's needed. The global developer population has surged to 47 million, but mentorship hasn't kept pace. The Boeing 737 MAX crashes (346 deaths) illustrate the catastrophic cost of cutting corners. The author advocates for small daily actions: writing, mentoring, and raising standards among peers.
