Where software is highly regulated, it is of much higher quality. This article is so badly researched, they use the example of a late model car starting reliably as an example of good engineering. Well then, I suppose the people who wrote the millions of lines of code that run that car shouldn't be called engineers either. Or should they? Clearly the article's author is too stupid to understand the technology. What about people who write airplane software? If this idiotic author doesn't want bugs in his Google docs, he should be pushing to regulate such software in the same way that airplane software is regulated. Sure, it doesn't make sense to do that. What would make sense is to realize that regulations and laws are the only difference between flight software and some buggy internet app. If you remove regulations from flight software and car software, planes and cars will crash and kill. At least Google docs might only lose your document in the worst case scenario. And don't even get me started on the outrage of train engineers at their title being co-opted. /s
