Don't mind Raul Olivera. He is a little sensitive about mechanical engineering cause we tease him and pick on mechanical when the robot doesn't work.
Raul deals with software engineers every day, so I'm pretty sure he understands the importance of it. I know exactly what you mean though about it hitting a nerve. I felt the same way when I read the original post that Mike responded to.

I absolutely HATE when I get the "Programming isn't that important" response, I get that stuff fromy my teachers a lot.

What exactly do your teachers say about programming not being important? I'm sure there's more than a few engineers here that would beg to differ...
