Perhaps discipline is one of the main issues but apart from that, One of the biggest problems with programming is that unlike other engineering majors there is no good qualification system. Truth is MOST of the programmers are doing a really poor job and writing a really bad code and there is no good qualification to make sure you have right people in right place. While in other engineering majors there are clear ways for qualification. For instance taking programming language as qualification is horrible but we do it. I know Scala developer who have no idea what the F.. they are doing, yet they get paid well just because they are writing Scala. I know Java developers who have very poor OOP knowledge, yet being recognized as OOP programmers in the market only because they are writing Java. Yes that is not always the case, but the fact that we have this system is questionable.
