Again with the over emphasis on “state sanctioned recognition”.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoSo will you call anyone that tells people what chemicals to ingest when "a doctor"? Will you call anyone on the Internet commenting on legal issues "a lawyer"? Or would you prefer people emphasize the meaning of "state sanctioned recognition" in these cases? Engineering is like law and medicine, in that it requires high skill and can hurt a lot of people if done badly. Not every country has engineering licensing, but I find myself increasingly agreeing with those that do. I feel calling software development engineering is mostly false advertising right now, only trying to capitalize on (and devalue) the status that engineering has in society.
