    I’m pretty sure Nedry was the engineer. Arnold was systems administrator / operator. Neither were computer scientists.

      Nedry was literally a computer scientist and systems designer / programmer from Cambridge. Arnold was a theme park engineer (designing rides and control systems; some programming involved but a whole different paradigm than developing large systems).
