If a civil engineer amazed people with their lack of structural integrity awareness, they wouldn't be trusted to build a house of cards let alone a bridge open to the general public. Software developers write defective, bug-ridden and unsafe public-facing devices and services that are open to the entire world and we shrug whenever there's a major cybersecurity or software crash catastrophe.

If software engineers were held to the same standards of accountability and liability as real engineers when they apply their signature at the bottom of a design calculations document, maybe we'd stop shoveling trivially wormable garbage onto the Internet without a second thought.
