No, this is not the right way to look at it. Everything started in the state of Texas, where you have to be licensed to have the word "engineer" in your official job title. Since there were a number of "software engineers" running around in the state, they figured that something needed to be done to ensure that such engineers were licensed.
- wavefunction 13y agoTBH I don't really care what the State of Texas thinks is appropriate in this matter, despite being a citizen of the state and a software developer. If you happen to agree with the State's opinion, then fine. But don't tell me my opinion is incorrect. It's an opinion and presented as such. If you know anything about Texas government, you'll know that their licensing schemes are another way they soak the little guy while bending over backwards to help out the big guy. Certification by my peers in the form of their acceptance and recommendations are much more important than some arbitrary test.
