... but surely the answer is "None - it's a hardware problem."
So, how many hardware engineers does it take to change a light bulb....
None... it _could_ be software.

We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Surely you mean 6?
You also need one to devise a logic puzzle from this simple task for a future interview question, and one to tell you there is a much easier algorithm using trinary logic. No, make that 7, since we also need someone to devise an algorithm to compute how many people we need.

You'd better ask the light bulb first, if it wanted to be changed.

its a hardware engineers job surely?

Wrong forum. Programming questions should be posted in Q&A. And your question is precisely as well defined as the rest of them there...

Lucky for me then that downvoting is disabled in this forum, huh?

Please don't cheat: you are known to be good with lambda calculus, that is more advanced (two letters, at least) than the iota one.

All of them.
From the frying pan (Ruby on Rails) into the fire (C#/.NET) for me.
Embedded SQL in the code
passwords stored in plain text in the DB
http not https for web service calls
no encryption
Model-View-Controller architecture? Nope. Everything is embedded in the forms.
VISUAL BASIC!!!
etc.
Why do I keep finding this idiot developers? I have a list of names of programmers never to hire, if anyone is interested.
And the icing on the cake? The guy who left has stolen the code and is trying to start is own company. Criminal lawsuit is pending.

Looks you're just a bit concerned about security.

Really don't know. Maybe you're unlucky. Have a look at the Q&A in order to find out the brightests...

Wow, he's really a criminal to stole such a code.

And that is true. In my early years (30+ years ago) of software development, I wrote code like that. I asked myself, why is this sh*t so difficult to maintain, extend, etc. I came up with the MVC pattern long before it became in vogue, and I'm intimately familiar with its failings now as well.
However, nowadays I know a lot better, but keep finding "experienced" programmers that clearly don't think. These are the programmers that the company cannot let go of because they're the only ones that know how their sh*t works and how to fix it. It's a huge liability when one walks out the door, but if replaced with a good programmer, ultimately saves the company a lot of money.

So in fact they're extremely skilled at appearing not to be extremely skilled?
