Engineers often have the feeling that managers are pushing back and fighting for deadlines. The reason these conflicts start is because engineers and managers have different concerns. Managers are concerned with building the right thing, while engineers are concerned with building the thing right. Once you understand where the conflict is, a healthier way to look at deadlines is to view them as constraints. Great engineering is often about finding clever solutions against constraints.

The life expectancy of someone in the US infected with HIV is currently about the same as the rest of the population. This is largely due to antiretroviral therapy, a daily treatment regimen that decreases the level of HIV in a person's blood to the point it's no longer detectable or transmittable. There have been a handful of people over the last couple of decades that have been able to reach undetectable HIV levels while off treatment, essentially meaning they've been cured of the disease. New universal cures are now on the horizon.
