I think engineers in hard sciences are a bit different than "startup" software "engineers". Anyone can make mistakes of course, but the process and professionalism is different.

I'm not bashing all programmers, just ones who are part of the "rockstar" startup scene.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commision will beat the rockstar out of them pretty quick.

That won't happen until someone builds an incredibly popular framework for nuclear power.

I might be wrong, but I was under the impression that engineering, with the exception of software engineering, was still very much a "suit and tie" field.

Or ones hoping to build the first nuclear broactor.
