The Inevitable Entropy Of Engineering Projects

The Inevitable Entropy Of Engineering Projects

The engineering lifecycle, perfectly visualized. What starts as a muscular, idealized "Design" gradually deteriorates through "Shop Drawings" until it reaches its final form: the slightly disheveled "As Built" reality. This is essentially the second law of thermodynamics applied to project management—entropy always increases. No matter how pristine your initial CAD models look, by the time you're cutting corners to meet deadlines, your elegant solution has grown a metaphorical beer belly. The universal constant of engineering isn't π or e—it's disappointment.
