There are so many frameworks, systems, and products I’m not sure you can have a broad certification to be able to call yourself a licensed professional in any reasonable sense. I became an engineer in training for electrical engineering but decided to pursue a software career as I enjoyed it more and it was more lucrative.
Not too mention that whatever you build has so many dependencies that would all have to fall under some category of licensed or industrial grade just to be used.
Besides move fast and break things with venture capital is not aligned with the risks that a licensed professional would have.
- alistairSH 3y agoIsn’t that also true of engineering in the physical world? I wouldn’t have any problem with there being a licensing body for software engineers. This would encompass safety-critical areas like automotive and aeronautical software systems, military systems, etc. I don’t feel there is a need for your generic CRUD app developer to be an engineer. And there’s nothing wrong with being “just” a developer.
