Four engineers are driving to a conference when their car breaks down.
a civil engineer in the front seat suggests that the slope of the road
will allow them to pick up speed quickly
if they push the car, at which point they can pop the clutch.
the other three engineers laugh.
a chemical engineer theorizes that there was something bad in the gasoline
that caused the engine to fail, so a simple trip to a gas station would fix the problem.
the other two engineers laugh.
a mechanical engineer offers to look under the hood
and identify the part of the engine that is broken,
allowing them to go to an auto parts store and fix the problem.
the remaining engineer laughs.
the software engineer says
"you folks are making this too complicated,
just turn it off and turn it on again.
