The problem I feels is that we have no decent foundational standards and methodologies to build the software upon like we would a building or bridge.
Civil and structural engineering have a lot of the basics abstracted away in to easily reusable knowledge that can be applied from one project to the next.
Software engineering sometimes feels like we never managed to pull ourselves much further beyond a Leonardo Da Vinci drawing.

He's likely an average software engineer, and if not then we've done a terrible job at education, hiring, or promotion, which again is not necessarily his fault. The problem is the system, and certification would potentially resolve some aspects, but he still could be ranking himself incorrectly against other engineers and therefore we might be right back to square one.
