The second month of 2025 is coming to an end. Since the beginning of the year, I have had time to read another book, so now you will find both a review of it and a story about one area in IT that you may not have heard of. 🧐

This time in front of me was the work of Vyacheslav Mizgulin "Systems engineer. How to start a career in a new technological order" . And I’ll say right away that the book is wonderful, I would give it everything 10 out of 10 🔝

Now let me tell you more about everything 🦜

Why systems engineering?

Systems engineering is a discipline that teaches you to see the entire project as a whole ( from idea to operation ). A systems engineer is responsible for the entire life cycle of a product, be it the construction of a security system or the development of an IoT device. That is, in essence, a systems engineer is a one-man orchestra who brings together a variety of specialists in a team and makes sure that the end result really works and brings benefits

Let's talk about the book

In his book, Vyacheslav talks about exactly how systems engineering is used in the context of different projects. Particularly attracted ( specifically me ) that he considers IoT cases. Without a systematic approach, Internet of Things projects can fall apart if someone does not take into account customer requirements or does not record important restrictions ( not to mention the fact that someone may even forget to test the hardware in real conditions ). There's a lot of pain, but there's also a lot of solutions 📝

General impression

The author explains step by step how systems engineering is used in a project, where the work of an analyst, architect, tester begins, and when it all comes together. At the same time, he gives many real examples 🤩

I also liked that there is no heavy language. Everything related to the life cycle, distribution of roles and stages of development is presented quite clearly 👍

The book is a cheerful read, with humor and explains many points. As I mentioned above, I subjectively rate it 10/10
