I once worked on a project that was started by two construction engineers. It was a Java web app. It worked well enough, but many customers complained about the ammount of crashes and errors the app produced. But it had nothing to do with them being construction engineers. It was their mindset that they thought they now knew enough and don't need to become better anymore. When the complexity grew, the app was above their competency. Even when faced with their failures their were unwilling to admit that they need to learn more about professional software engineering. I have talked with some developers about my observations and almost all of them had a similar anecdote to tell. Some of them included CS grads with a similar "good enough" mindset. These anectodes are in no way a representable study, but for me, it put the radical professionalism movement of Uncle Bob in a whole new context.
