Professional licensure would be great. The whole union thing is for people lower in the pay scale.

Maybe, but in my view unionising is the first step on the way to establishing something similar to what doctors or lawyers or accountants have. I don't think it is possible to get to "Certified Professional Software Engineer" without first having "Union of Accredited Software Developers". And therein lies the biggest problem in establishing Professional Licensure: you cannot allow uncertified members. The medical, accounting, engineering and legal professions gatekeep like mad, with the first gate being "complete this degree or equivalent", and the second gate being "write these exams", with various smaller hurdles after that (malpractice insurance, annual dues, etc). I'd love professional licensure in our industry, but it's not going to happen.
- junofan 3y agoThat makes zero sense, sorry.
