When software engineers stop disclaiming all liability for their products failing, we can talk about them like we talk about engineers (sidenote: some are already take responsibility)
- pjmlp 8y agoDepends on the country, as some do require a certain level for people to call themselves software engineers to start with. As for the liability, I fully agree.
- M_Bakhtiari 8y agoIt's foolish for anyone to take responsibility for any software written under the current prevailing industry practices. It would be funny if real engineers were able to get away with making crumbling messes that can't hold their own weight because their middle managers don't believe in concepts like stress and strain like ours don't believe in refactoring or abstractions.
