Buddy? (Not sure what your comment about a high horse is about, I made no claims that I am somehow specially qualified and would end up on top or something? I have simply seen what happens many times over when push comes to shove with respect to securing systems. Inevitably they ship because you can always find an engineer and PM who are intensely interested in product and don’t care about edge cases and security. Even on supposed security products!)
And most doctors don't fuck up and most houses don't fall over. It’s about the consequences when things do go south. That’s my whole point. I didn't say every little product itch you want to scratch needs to be compliant. Just that at a certain threshold, it does, and as an industry we should be capable of promoting or surfacing the people who can do those jobs and insulating ourselves as professionals from the effects of cheaper or quicker uncertified labor that claims it can.
It also wouldn't be “free”. With increased levels of certification or whatever would come increased liability requirements. Our industry has a problem capturing liability so nobody has to take responsibility when something like leftpad happens. It’s just another day in the life of “software”.
Just because one organization (the ama) is fucked up and keeps physicians artificially scares doesn't mean all other instances/attempts are doomed to the same fate.
Anyway.. I really don't think we’re that far apart and don't quite understand your antagonistic edge. I hope I didn't offend you.
