This open access booktakes a deep dive into the depths of modern engineering practice. With wit, precision, and just the right amount of indignation, this book exposes the creeping rot behind today's glossy prototypes, frameworks, standards, and fads. From the problem of early productization to the (dark) art of faking requirements, each chapter is a no-nonsense autopsy of how brilliant ideas die under the weight of bureaucracy, reuse fetishism, and corporate theatre. This is not a book for those content with JIRA tickets and PowerPoint deliverables; it's for engineers, managers, and decision-makers who still care about making things that actually work. If you've ever screamed internally at the sight of a 3,000-page spec or watched a project derail under the guidance of a consultant who flies business, this book is your manifesto. Sardonic, sharp but hopeful, Engineering is Broken seeks a cure, starting with the radical idea that common sense, humility, and technical courage still matter.
