I have no clue, but I wonder how unique this attitude turns out to be among MEs/EEs versus, say, everyone dealing with electronics. Because the stories and complaints about mechanical and electrical engineers treating code (and programmers) as second-class, remind me very much of how front-end people complain about how they’re perceived by back-end people. And about how backend people complain about how they’re perceived by systems programming people. And so on up/down the line(s) of abstraction.
