But we can predict the outcomes, though. That's what we're saying, and it's true. Maybe not 100% of the time, but maybe it helps a significant amount of the time and that's what matters.

Is it engineering? Maybe not. But neither is knowing how to talk to junior developers so they're productive and don't feel bad. The engineering is at other levels.

So 60% of the time, it works every time.

    This is nothing new, at all. Do you have a strategy that makes other engineers do what you want exactly 100% of the time?
