> What probably happened is that many of Huawei's programmers are EEs who happened to take a programming course or two in college. Oh yes. Most of my classmates have picked EE over software engineering because they "dislike programming". The fact that EE (and any other engineering field really) is now mostly about programming anyway is lost on them. People designing EE study programs are usually completely unaware that, well, computers exist. I have literally heard "Want to learn programming? Uh, just spend a weekend playing with Matlab or something and you will be set.".
