I am not enough of an expert in the other fields to compare how stupid those answers are, but the software engineer seems like it is quite different to the others.

For the other professions, it seems to me, as a layman in those fields, that they are applying their own fields’ jargon to come up with a silly answer. But in the case of an an off-by-one error, some software engineer had to make an error. They had to be bad at their normal job. The other professions seem like they are simply too good at their normal jobs to have common sense elsewhere. That’s why software engineer seems quite different.

It really feels like the parallel answer for software engineers would be something to do with “multiple inheritance” or “mixins”.
