25 guys from IBM, 20 from Microsoft, 3 from Facebook, 10 from Google, 14 professors from different universities sit on a body that dictate how you're suppose to program. If you don't put 20 references in your source code to "The Gang of 4", you're credentials will never be enough to do anything but write doubly nested for loops. Luckily the IT industry can just ignore them and demonstrate something better without bothering 6 other organs to check if they are allowed to build it. But in truth i'm starting to worry about the Hollywood-NSA-Savethechildren 'consultants' influence on the laws that panders 'technical' solutions to make general computation a service instead of a human right.
