I don’t think government control is necessary. Much of what the OP is talking about can be undertaken by industry standards, or just by enough software engineers and software firms agreeing upon it, whether through a body like an IEEE or unofficially like how Agile spread in popularity.
- native_samples 5y agoWe agree then! But the article author disagrees: "Software practitioners should be licensed and be bound by a professional ethical code where violation of said code would result in the revocation of the license to practice software engineering." The article very clearly argues for government control of who can be a programmer or not (who is doing the revoking, otherwise). That would be destructive, fatal to innovation and totally counterproductive.
- Apocryphon 5y agoSure, though this discussion doesn't have to be limited to the OP's constraints.
