If you're writing code that controls radiation therapy machines or trains or autoclaves or something, yah, maybe there should be some regulation and potential jail time for negligence. But 95% of all software written (especially if it's the first version of new software) isn't life or death. If the next social media startup or saas-for-painters is spaghetti code it's not going to hurt anyone. Failure is cheap in our industry. That's largely a very good thing.
