No. This is often stated, but I believe provable systems make far more sense than provable people. Exclusionary qualifications and gatekeeping are an anachronism that needs to die. It's a positive thing that computing has lead the way in this area. Other facets of engineering need to do the same.
- mrkeen 2y agoIt's impossible to even aim for provable systems when the dominant paradigm is moving fast.
- secondcoming 2y agoWould you let someone - whose only qualifications is watching YT videos and tinkering around their own home - wire up your house and install your gas appliances? Would your insurer accept that?
- poincaredisk 2y agoThat's equivalent to asking if I would let a hobbyist programmer who just learned python to write his first computer game design and implement my production system. A better comparison would be "would I let someone who self-learned wiring up houses, and then spent five years working under an expert, before finally branching on his own, wire up my house". And the answer is yes.
