Great teaching tool for hello world type stuff, and UML is nice for design documents that present data models and such.
Beyond that, for real engineering? I've worked with EEs who write massive applications in Labview -- their codebases are all impossible to maintain masses of pain and suffering.
- tonyarkles 6y ago> I've worked with EEs who write massive applications (...) their codebases are all impossible to maintain masses of pain and suffering. Fixed that for you :). EE/CS dual here. Some EEs can code, some CS folks can design circuits, but if I had to bet... I wouldn’t expect great work to come from either discipline working on the other side of the software/hardware line. I’m decent at both, but I pretty much squeezed two degrees into a five year programme and have put a lot of effort into maintaining competency in both disciplines throughout my career. These days I’m mostly doing embedded and am loving life :D
- jki275 6y agoYeah, that's a fair point in many cases. Though I have seen some very nice C/C++ from some of them -- those that want to write good code. And as a CS guy, I know damn well I can't do circuit design to save my life.
