This makes me want to write a post, "If programmers had to work like mechanical engineers". There is much overlap, dealing with changing requirements, fickle clients, struggles with realities of moving from design to production, etc. but imagine if a program crashing had the same legal, monetary, and personal safety implications as a cars brakes failing? To put it another way, there's a reason Toyota has an order of magnitude more employees but a comparable networth to Adobe and it's not because doing things in the real world is easier.
