As an engineer I fully agree. Engineers¹ aren't even able to do basic arithmetics. I even cannot count to 10.

¹ Except maybe Electrical engineers. They seem to be quite smart.

Having worked with electrical engineers, some of them are quite smart, the rest have lead poisoning.

Engineer here, I can definitely count to 10 tho

0 1 10

The inner machinations of an electrical engineer is too complicated for me to understand, I think they might be thinking on a higher order to understand these circuits

Thats why I barely passed my electrical engineering class lol

Except maybe Electrical engineers.

Yup, I can count just fine to the 10th number in a zero-indexed counting system: black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray, white.

Electrical engineers are the ones that use j though (because i is used for current)

I am used for current
