I was required to take calc 1 and 2. The name is a meme, yeah. The name is a holdover from when it was a more experimental field several decades ago.
>Engineers, Electrical Engineers like myself, we learn how to program machines too.
I have done some limited embedded stuff with a UART flasher and while it does require some programming knowledge it's very different from software design. It's more akin to basic scripting rather than architecting large systems. You really aren't ever dealing with large, multi-layered abstractions. But then again, most devs aren't doing that either, so fair enough.
>I had to learn Assembly, CS Majors learn Java, Python, C++, other midwit languages like that.
C++ is not a midwit language lmao(but it still sucks). Also, assembly is extremely simple. Anyone with an IQ over 115 can become proficient in a week or two. I went from not knowing any assembly to having a functional x86 asm->C decompiler in couple weeks just casually as a side project.
