I think they turn into cranks much earlier. Part of this is that I think despite engineering not actually functioning that way, engineers can often get away with falling into cult logic (there is one true path) in a way that other disciplines are more resistant to. Look at hackerrank and whiteboarding- wtf is that if not straight cult logic.


Hell, I was probably born a crank. I think the causal relationship is more likely to be "cranks become engineers" than "engineers become cranks".


We shall have a brand new world, without middle management, a clean architecture, tabula rasa, begin a new, without self deprecation.
