- mathgladiator 3y agoA spine to push back on bad practices
- ClumsyPilot 3y agoBingo. People do not understand that lawyers/doctors can tell their boss to go pound sand by saying ‘that would lose me my license and so no one will ever agree to do it’
- williamcotton 3y agoPointless jumping through circles. At that point I would definitely get a JD instead.

- Jtsummers 3y agoIt wouldn't impact developers who aren't working on important systems (safety, security, privacy contexts). HIPAA compliant software? Maybe they (org and, possibly, a "professional software engineer" in charge of signing off on things) should be held accountable when there's a data breach. Video game maker? Yeah, you wouldn't need a PSE. It also, if done like PE licensing, wouldn't impact the day-to-day developer. Only the ones who choose the responsibility (and usually better compensation for the responsibility).
- mathgladiator 3y agoThere is risk in being a doctor, lawyer, pyschologist... the thing is, a lot of people trust what we do and our negative impacts scale up much worse. A friend shared https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkJ4qv5RLRc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkJ4qv5RLRc with me today, and it made me enraged. Too many incompetent technologies are deployed.
- Terr_ 3y ago> There is risk in being a doctor, lawyer, pyschologist... True, but in those professions, the risk to the individual is typically offset by somehow enforcing labor-scarcity to drive up income for those in good-standing.
