Ask HN: Engineers and visionaries, what are your challenges with each other?

2 points by jcutrell ↗ HN
Over this past year, I've been putting together some thoughts on what it takes for an engineer to effectively work with a visionary. I understand that there are a lot of blurred lines, but I'm approaching from the extreme ends of the spectrum.

If you're a visionary, what do you often see as hurdles when working with engineers? What are the frustrating or colliding issues that cause a project to halt?

If you're an engineer (builder, strategist, implementer, scientist), what have been your challenges when working with a visionary?

What elements of the dynamic between these two spectrums are most interesting to you?

(Okay, I know I asked three-in-one, but hopefully this will look more like a discussion than a Q&A.)
