> Is it actually an issue though? Software engineers by design (?) are not capital "P" professionals. There's no certification or board underwriting our work. Software engineering/developers have had the latitude to "move fast" and represent the only "professional" trade that has the ability to "try again" (with a deployment) versus a structural engineer for example. You're turning the word professional into a euphemism, it isn't. It's a profession when you are paid to do the task. Industries have already plenty of regulation by sectors, there is no need for more regulation, it already exists. A "software engineer" wide certification will only create more gatekeepers in a domain that has too many of them already. There are already certifications within each industries that software developers serve. I'm absolutely opposed to any sort of certification process for software engineering itself. Within a certain sector? Banking? Avionics? Cars? Sure. And these already exist. Every time something shady is talked about on HN you have a bunch of people coming in and talking about "Think of the children, there needs to be a certification for deploying a freaking blog on a server". Just No. |
