Given how many critical systems software touches these days, I am surprised that there they are not licensed. Imagine if civil engineers can just go building shit as minimum viable products? Sure prototype quickly but someone should be found liable for final product.

lmao excellent reference! While this is poking fun at the block chain hype a bit, a shocking amount of (good) software engs don't know good security practices. I'd be interested to hear arguments for and against being licensed to write software for particular applications (e.g J.Doe can work on this application but any auth code has to be signed off by someone licensed). AI tools are great but screwing up an implementation (for a well thought out spec) does happen, esp. in security applications and someone needs to be liable for life-ruining data breaches.
