I think many of the older engineers had real world experience before becoming engineers - today this is a rare event.
Well.... Older engineers were allowed to be only engineers and todays engineers have to cover every base from purchasing to marketing requirements.
Its always an engineers fault, but it seems like no one will go ahead till and engineer blesses it or gives in to a VP releasing the product too soon so they hit a deadline. Then they blame engineering later if it doesn't go right....
