Not to mention, how do you actually maintain code if you want to fix anything if you don't know how it was built or how it works?
Ok, that gets into an interesting subject. We were using electric generators before we knew how they worked. Heck, we didn't even know what electricity really was. It worked and did specific things, and that's all we knew.
It's the computer engineer vs the Computer scientist weirdness. If a computer scientist was given an alien computer, they would study it until they could understand it and then do basic tests to slowly figure out how it worked. The engineer would try to install Doom on it.
Holy shit, a computer engineer trying to install Doom on an ancient alien computer found on Mars could be a premise for a Doom game.
I can't disagree with that, and now I want to see the scenario played out.
See, I would have said the opposite. The Computer Scientist would try and install Doom on it. The Engineer would break it into it's component parts.
