I don't quite understand why this is a problem? If a parrot is able to perfectly defend someone in the court of law then does it really matter if it never had a license to do so?

- toasted-subs 3y agoYeah but I wouldn't trust half the people who build software projects. Seems like the money gets sent to people who know how to talk, not on their abilities.
- vkou 3y ago> Yeah but I wouldn't trust half the people who build software projects. Unlike engineering, or medicine, the overwhelming majority of software projects are not life-critical. I wouldn't build a bridge the way I build software. I don't work that way because I can't be trusted, I work that way because the stakes of failure are low.
- toasted-subs 3y agoIn this market it would be financially unwise to build a software project the same way we build bridges.
