Sorry, you lost me there. I am CS and literally every single one colleague in IT with an electrical engineering background where subpar compared to CS students. (Of course I don't claim that is true in generell or for that there are no electrical engineers who can be great developers.)

One background I will respect is mathematicians, it is always a joy to learn from them and the can model very nice abstractions. Again, in my personal experience, no claim how general this is or that there are no exceptions.
