You could say the same thing about SWEs and basically all the free or low cost software we use to get our work done. And we’re usually paid more than the engineers that use CAD.
Doesn’t mean that CAD software should be so expensive. It’s probably holding the field’s growth from outsiders back.
- seabird 6y agoFrankly, the work that most software developers do is a joke compared to what is done in even a low-end CAD package. Biffing a minor detail in Uber For Toothbrushes isn't a big deal. Biffing a minor detail in a wiring harness for a plane or military vehicle is a multi-million mistake that people may not notice until they actually attempt to put the whole thing together, or worse, after somebody is already using it. When you start talking about software that needs to work the first time, things get similarly expensive.
