Is there any specific program / college / etc outside of tech that you would want to study if you could?

I’ve always been an analyst, but think I was meant to be an engineer. So I'm looking to cultivate a more engineering-centric mindset. I've always admired the problem-solving approach, systematic thinking, and creativity that engineers bring to the table. Could you recommend some books that are particularly good at teaching or illustrating these skills?

What are some clever strategies or methodologies you've employed to verify a developer's honesty and quality of work when you lack deep technical understanding?

For example, if you have a developer doing something technical - how can you ensure it's done correctly?

I suppose you could have them do the work and then have a separate dev check the work (if resources allow)?

Interested in potential ideas - treat this more as a brainstorming activity where all responses don't need to be entirely practical.
