I can hardly quit chuckling about this one . . . good thing no one expects
programmers or engineers to know how to use metaphors.
Anyway, to the point, there is a big difference between understanding the
architecture of the system on which a software application is going to be
running and the general statement that programmers are ignorant of the assembly
code and internals of the operating system.
The difference between traditional engineers and a software engineer is that
the software engineer has to actually produce something that works and can be
tested. Not every programmer is a software engineer. Some are simply
programmers.
I apologize to you engineers out there who may have actually taken a system you
have designed and produced the final product from you engineering output. I'm
sure some have. I'm also sure that those who have know exactly what I'm
talking about.
