> Software “engineers” cling to their management driven paradigm and resist true accountability Yeah just gonna stop you there...none of us were given the choice to be accountable and hide behind "I will lose my license if I commit/deploy this." I'm also an actual engineer in addition to a software engineer, and being able to say "I'm not willing to go to jail for this" works when you have a P.E. license in an actual engineering project, but definitely does not work in the software industry. It doesn't even work in engineering if you don't have a P.E. outside of "No this will literally hurt/maim/kill someone" Yes, either way (software or P.E.) you might be fired for saying "I'm not willing to go to jail for this" but it's much less likely you'd be fired for it in "hard" engineering, because everyone else on the team understands that you're not being entirely hyperbolic when you say "I'm not signing this because I could go to jail." If you said that in a software project people would rightfully think you're fucking nuts and don't understand how the world works, because there's an infinitesimal chance a software engineer would go to jail. Even the criminals who deployed the Uber Greyball thing didn't face any consequences, which truly shocked me, as that was blatant obstruction of justice.
