I am a licensed professional software engineer in Canada. It's been fifteen years since I first registered with my professional association, but I will probably not be renewing my license this year as it's not providing any real benefit to my career.

Two decades ago there was a lot of talk about turning software development into a structured engineering discipline, but that plan seems to have largely been abandoned.

I've had some discussions with my engineering regulator in Canada. It's clear they have no idea what software engineering even is or who should be regulated or why. I tried to get them to provide some examples of what would and would not count as software engineering, but they couldn't.
