Computer engineering is typically hardware and low level software design which doesn't really fit the analogy you're going for.

Case and point right here with that correction.

LMFAO, I do try to be friendly to noobs...but I am naturally a pedant and so when not dealing with noobs I let the pedant out a bit more. But I do agree with the sentiment that the power users are not welcoming.

Yeah, sure. J'en ai pas grand-chose à faire, puisque l'anglais n'est pas ma langue natale et que je fais de mon mieux avec ce que je sais, mais je désignais ce que tu désignes. Maintenant, démerde-toi avec la traduction.

You've just made my point for me, man/woman.

Google figured out the translation for me lol...and yes I know I made your point... although as I said in another comment I do try to be noob friendly...that just only applies to noobs.
