Couldn’t have anything to do with it being one of the most complex regulatory environments in the nation, no?
Computing became cheaper because it has layer upon layer of economies of scale.
Law doesn’t because every case is unique and is literally decided upon minutiae and exceptional details.
Working in software breeds some truly wild perspectives on the world.
- robocat 2y ago> Couldn’t have anything to do with it being one of the most complex regulatory environments in the nation And smart software engineers never over-complicate their code, right?
- llamaimperative 2y agoSure there’s definitely some of that. That doesn’t “explain why” (OP) code is complex nor does it prove there’s a “cartel” (GP) trying to gatekeep software engineering.
- gosub100 2y ago"wild" is not defined as as "anyone who doesn't share your perspective".
- llamaimperative 2y agoThat’s why I didn’t use it that way. I used it to describe your belief that law and medicine are arcane primarily for the purpose of gatekeeping. “Wild” is the most generous word I could come up with, sorry! Is software engineering arcane for similar gatekeepy reasons or is that for more legitimate reasons?
- fao_ 2y ago> Working in software breeds some truly wild perspectives on the world. My personal suspicion is that software is one of the easiest fields in the world to learn, and it has the sneaky benefit that you don't have to brush up against many constraints of the real world, but then — this doesn't explain the apparent god complex many programmers have.
