There is an argument that programming should be more like engineering - and you should not be able to do this professionally unless qualified. All of us know that we have a huge mess of bad code and worse practices in various ecosystems, and that we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. Relying on open-source "amateur" [0] developers to create key infrastructure has allowed us to move quickly, but not at a very high level of quality. Holding programming up as the apex of good practice in this area isn't the argument you think it is ;) [0] Amateur from an engineering discipline perspective.
