This will never happen as long as we continue to have a broad distrust of academics and fetishize the hacker with no formal training. We don't value ourselves as a profession and so we reflexively reject the idea of forming a professional organization. There's also the fact that a significant portion of software developers have no or sub-par formal training and are insecure about their ability to pass any rigorous standardized testing, and so there's some measure of self-preservation involved in rejecting a formal licensing body.
- psyc 9y agoI’ve been repeatedly denied by gatekeepers disinclined to let me inside They say stay at the perimeter. Keep to the outer limits. They’re the ultimate limiters. Competitors can’t get in it. If we can’t even begin, they keep taking the win. We stay thin like we’ve been. They keep raking it in. Good luck plucking a chicken or an egg from nothing. Success flows to success, and so far I hear no clucking. I’ve jumped through enough hoops in my lifetime. More exclusion? No thank you. If we take cues from anyone, let it be tradespeople, e.g. apprenticeships.
