| Mar 5, 2011 at 5:27 | comment | added | Ben Voigt | @guilio: I respectfully disagree. There are a few engineers at the top making an insane amount of money (we typically call them "inventors", but they used engineering skills to design the product). Then there is a small group of the most sought-after media consultants. Then the rest of the competent engineers, below them the incompetent engineers and the rank-and-file media consultants are intermingled. And all of 'em make more than your average college graduate with a math degree who teaches quadratic equations to the next crop of engineers. | |
| Mar 5, 2011 at 5:20 | comment | added | angryITguy | @ben. Those that are lacking in "basic math" skills are now called social media consultants and making considerably more than engineers. | |
| Mar 4, 2011 at 5:00 | comment | added | Ben Voigt | In case it wasn't obvious, I'm advocating for engineering software to be written by engineers who aren't trained in software development. Software engineering isn't hard to pick up if you have been trained to think logically. OTOH learning to solve engineering problems automatically, if one is lacking in such basic math skills as quadratic equations, is going to be next to impossible. | |
| Mar 3, 2011 at 23:22 | comment | added | angryITguy | @Ben. Believe it or not...ALOT of people managed to get into software development, and do not have formal training in it. This is probably before "your time". Me being one.. I managed to learn it, but it would have come alot easier if I had paid attention in school. | |
| Mar 3, 2011 at 6:21 | comment | added | Ben Voigt | Does not compute.... since a majority of good programmers are engineers, why is someone who feels lacking in their basic arithmetic skills writing software for engineering disciplines when there are a ton of engineers who understand the math, the physics, and the computing? | |
