How you mold your engineers, and the kind of management you put them
under, will determine how useful they are to you, and themselves. Often,
having the potential to give you a competitive advantage, within your
community.

No one came out the womb knowing how to build Internet networks. You've
hired well. Now train and mold well.

Your staff can be curious without breaking the network. That is the
responsibility of you, their leader.
