Technically I'm an EE. (Or would-be EE if I wouldn't have dropped out.) Most EEs I know are great with pointers. But they are really bad with memory management. Very dangerous combination.. :D

my 100% heroes are the small fraction of CS/EE people who master (or become good enough at) the other discipline as well -- I always tell students if they can do this they're easily employed for life

From my own observations, EEs bad at abstraction, CS bad at efficiency

EEs bad at abstraction (in programming) is a funny observation, because EE as a discipline is all about abstraction. (Think OpAmps, Logic Gates, etc.) But I think the observation is correct.

"bad at some kinds of abstraction valued by CS people" seems right

Let’s all be objective here - the one true stereotype is EEs are good at everything...

one time some mechanical engineers enrolled in my class and after that I stopped making fun of EEs about their programming skills for a while

I actually wish I had taken more Mech-E like courses like fluid dynamics and differential equations in college… instead I double majored in linguistics

Fluids and Thermo were some of the best Mech E classes IMO. Linguistics is pretty cool though!

Yeah, I thought I was gonna do a Ph.D. in linguistics for a while. Pretty wild!
All I do with my degree is nerdy conversations…but they’re fun nerdy conversations
