[Engineers] are bound by honor and state regulatory boards to produce work that is correct, safe, and up to the best practices. Engineers can lose their licenses through negligence...Software development doesn’t have such rigorous accountability, and this may be the area where we stand to improve most.
Are you serious?
The last thing that software needs is to become part of the state superstructure of cronyistic 'regulation'.
If "writing software without a license" becomes an actual offense to law, tyranny will surely have arrived.
We don't need to be engineers. Software development is completely different activity then engineering. Any software system is way more complicated than any engineered system ever.

Complicated? Or just complex?
