Did you read the whole article? The author explains that professional licensure is for prohibiting negative behavior, not for advocating standards or best-practices.
- ChrisMarshallNY 3y ago> Did you read the whole article? Isn't there something in the Ts and Cs about that kind of question? I know. My comment was about that line (and the "libertarian" comment). Note my comment about managers.
- hackyhacky 3y agoYou're right, I violated the standards and practices. I saw your comment about the managers, but it rather misses the point. The idea of professional ethics is that the practitioners need licensure so that they can refuse to perform unethical work demanded by their manager. If programming managers had a professional code of ethics, it wouldn't impact the ability of individual programmers from doing unethical things.
- ChrisMarshallNY 3y agoSure it would. Make managers accountable for their employees. I always took that approach, and worked for a Japanese company, and they ran that way.
