> I think a lot of this is because our profession does not have an accepted universal bar everyone can jump over to be considered ‘qualified’ Someday soon we may accept that what gets classified as software engineering is actually an amalgamation of skills from an entirely different set of titles/careers, most of which treat software creation and management as a tool and means to an end. I don't generally consider a blacksmith and a welder to be the same occupations. You can lump them under metalworker, but would you really expect the interview process for these roles to be at all similar?
