Then they'll just eliminate QA departments. If the guy doesn't produce perfect code, oh well, he's the liable one. Fire him and get someone else. The business takes on literally zero risk by employing the developer in this case.
If you want to treat us like doctors and lawyers, you'd better give us their salary, benefits, and social status after we put in 4-8 years becoming qualified to meet this new threshold. Of course that's not going to happen, so guess who benefits by switching the industry to professional licenses?
- NikolaeVarius 10y agoExcept engineers who have PEs and FEs don't exactly have massive salaries. "Software Engineers" are paid EXTRAORDINARILY well, especially compared to the amount of effort needed for that salary.

It's the same story with mathematicians and physicists who become finance quants. The finance world pays much better.
