Huh? A researcher has greater cognitive capacity? That's a funny take. My impression was -> Software developers main focus is developing software so they spend a HUGE amount of time developing software, maintaining software, noticing patterns and bugs and pitfalls in software and thus they get pretty decent at writing software. Data scientists main focus is developing models, so they spend a HUGE amount of time developing models, tweaking models, finding data, and cleaning data, and write basic software to achieve some of those goals. I wouldn't expect Albert Einstein, Mozart, or Beyoncé to be some fantastic software developer just cause they're smart individuals. I'd expect people who spend a lot of time writing software to generally be the ones who write decent software.
