Let's say an organization is developing software for a radar system...
Is it better to take engineers/scientists who understand the system
and teach them how to program?  Or is it better to take programmers
and teach them about the radar system?

Another example.. what if an organization is developing a command
and control system? Is it better to take individuals who know the
tactical and technical  aspects of the command and control system 
and teach them how to program or is it better to take programmers 
and teach them about the command and control system?
