In my careers - I have had several - us Engineers were humble creatures who wrote clean workmanlike well documented and tested code in the hope that no one would ever have to write it again, and if they did, it would be instantly understandable. Code was. to quote my friend 'Higgy', 'all just bits, in silicon'.
Later I encountered computer scientists who spoke a strange language with artistic terms in it like 'elegance' 'intellectual purity' 'algorithmic efficiency' 'Turing complete' 'object oriented' and other words that seemed to have nothing whatever to do with actually writing testing and debugging clean code that met the spec and worked in a timescale less than eternity...
I decided they were all frustrated ArtStudents™ with Physics envy who could not do HardSums™
And should never be let anywhere near a critical project.
