Joel is quite right. On of thr earliest 'serious' routines I wrote, circa 1950, was one that permitted EE's to continue to indulge in the fiction that they were still setting dials on pots/potentiometers in what was by then an all-digital setting.
It made them happy for a time, but all or most of them shortly learned to write code that called appropriate library subroutines, and some of them learned to right the subroutines themselves.
