> you don't hear CS folks claiming they're well suited for writing poetry. It may be technically true, but the dismissive "english/humanities is easy" narrative that is (or, in my day, was--it seems it still is) extremely popular in the STEM undergraduate community carries a kind of implicit claim of exactly that sort. Stating that something is easy necessarily implies the person making the statement thinks he could, with some relatively lesser effort than he applies to his current focus, achieve comparable results to those who focus on that something.
