I'd wager that it's easier to be a quack doctor or a lawyer than fake being a programmer. Most people cannot just grasp the needed details.
Not that it's a competition, though.
- maxxxxx 10y agoYou can't go out and open an office as lawyer or doctor without a license. You will get into trouble quickly. You also have to comply with a lot of rules. Anybody can call himself "software engineer" and he can pretty much do whatever he wants. That freedom is the exciting part about software but it has the disadvantage that there is no protection for "software engineers".
