>I still remember the rst time I told my wife that I was in chargeof “Apollo Software.” She exh orted me: “ Please don’t tell any ofour friends!”I suppose real men do “Hardware” just as real men don’t eatquiche.It was an attitude that prevailed a long time in many organiza-tions. Salaries fo r computer programmers did not keep up with thesalaries of engineers.Engineers did engineering.The programming(or coding)was more menial work and should be left to others.
It's funny how much this attitude has changed so much over the years. Now engineering is seen as menial work and the programmers are the real men and rockstars.
