The end result of this line of thinking is software guilds. Professionals being more accountable to their guild than to their boss. And the guild deciding who can and can't be a programmer.
It gets worse. In order to deliver on those promises, the guild now has to decide what framework to use, which UI elements are worthwhile. We're politicizing our jobs, and the only way to solve political problems is with government. Enter the web programming guild.
- brianjcohen 8y agoThe flip side of this is: currently, most engineering fields require you to have some kind of professional certification (eg. a PE) from an industry "guild", eg. the ASCE. Software engineers don't really have a functional equivalent. We demand that professional engineers build our bridges, but we'll pretty much let anyone build our software. At some point, changing that may be the responsible thing to do.
