Commercial aviation involves other people's lives in real-time. I put that more like being a lifeguard or EMT. Recreational aviation has a lot less regulation.

  > Recreational aviation has a lot less regulation. Yup, and the result is that GA has orders of magnitude worse accident rates. > I saw a guy with nothing but a fan and a parachute just flying around the cliffs off Hwy 1. No license or certification needed. In most of Europe, this just doesn't fly (pun intended), you need a license for almost all aeronautical activities, and on top of that a fair few countries (most notably Germany) only allow start and land from official airstrips. > Shouldn't need a license to make React components, sorry. Oh I'd say, yes, a license is a good idea, simply given how often developers put in stuff from marketing that violates laws. Forcing a license that can be revoked now gives engineers the ability to push back against management because now their licenses are on the line.
