though I agree that it's probably too general of a statement, I'm more with raverbashing on this one: while now mainly doing software I have a strong hardware background and it's more often than not just baffling to see the approach of software-only engineers when having to code over the software/hardware border. Then again, maybe I only met some exceptions. I also have no idea if/how these topics are covered in a typical software engineering's education.
