#138878 - Engineering Vs Crafting Responding to: ???'s previous message |
An engineer understands tolerances, so that every unit produced to a design should meet the requirements, irrespective of component or production variables. Software programmers mostly work like craftsmen, refining one implementation until it passes a set of tests (That one implementation is then cloned without variation in the production process).
In my experience, software programmers don't understand engineering at all, which is why they don't go into electronics. Engineers on the other hand can drop tolerancing concerns and may become quite good programmers. |
