Comment on Alberta allows "Software Engineer" title for non-registered professionalsparent

Comments

I'm not completely disagreeing.

But it is one of the few "engineering fields" where many of the top performers don't have degrees or formal educations.

It would be a shame to gatekeep devops engineers with leet code exams for example.

Good point. Maybe it could be a certification test, or maybe some roles wouldn't require it, but I think standardizing software engineering would help the industry by allowing people to focus on the field for their entire lives instead of being sidetracked into management.
