Funny thing is that from all places, banking and finance are some of the ones that more closely understand software not only as a tool for doing business, but as something that informs and define the business itself.

I once worked in a big bank where basically 70% of their C-suite and upper management were engineers (not only SE, but civil, electric, naval, etc) who had years of experience in IT. The rest were lawyers and a couple economists.

And I am not even talking about the worlds of quant and hft.
