It's just, uh, John Ousterhout, Stanford professor of CS. One of the creators of the scripting language tcl, which few people remember, as well as the consensus algorithm raft, which most people who have studied Distributed Systems know about. In this talk, he talked about the philosophy of Software Design. I especially liked the part about the correct mindset and destructive tactical tornados:) https://youtu.be/bmSAYlu0NcY?t=2040

By the way, I call it the feeling of greatness in software development – if you don’t have one, then you slip into completing tasks and closing tickets, and your system becomes overgrown with inefficient and ugly solutions. That is why it is worth pumping the right mindset and training for discretion, studying the complex systems and principles that their designers followed. To do this, you should first read books to get some base, and then switch to the white paper of the real systems that interest you:)
