Considering how important SWE is today, our particular mix of recklessness and incompetence with almost no regulatory oversight feels increasingly insane, compared to the hoops a physician has to jump through to get a license and the fairly small amount of damage they can then do (given the 1-on-1 nature of their work).
I guess the remedy is that software is still better than no software, but yeah, we would have to be fairly delusional to not see that something could be a lot better here and we need all the help we can get while the stakes are getting much higher.
