I hear these stories of black magic bugs and I look back at my 8 year career wondering if I'm even progressing as an engineer. Thrown from one studio to the next and never truly staying long enough to be trusted to investigate such issues.

I have no idea how engineers that started in the 10's or 20's are going to rise up to take over those fro the 90's/00's. So much is abstracted, but games specifically need to understand what's under the hood. Because they can and will hit some of the nastiest edge cases.
