The easiest path is always dangerous, because it's easier to avoid doing the right thing. It's easier to make cars without seatbelts. It's easier to avoid doing quality control for medication. It's easier to put lead in the paint. Somehow, computing hasn't realized that it is a field that maybe actually requires a little specialized knowledge. Would you let any rando fly an airplane? No, of course not. Why are we letting unqualified people write software?

- akdev1l 2y ago> No, of course not. Why are we letting unqualified people write software? Because in 99% of cases the code will never be able to cause harm to a human being and there is zero risk for loss of life. The comparison you are making is kind of ridiculous. To work on the software that works on an airplane then you’ll be vetted appropriately but to work on random CRUD app you don’t really all that much.
