Spot on.
To add a point, licensing will shift the blame from corporations and their management to workers. This will mean that the blame won't be placed on management cheaping out on processes to ensure safety, but instead the 'bad apple' developer. This is bad for both consumers and workers.
Licensing in all industries, especially in medicine and law needs to be abolished ASAP. it has devastated many lives (it's too costly to get multiple opinions) and robbed the middle class in every town across America.

- unono 13y agoBecause the consumer won't buy from you if you don't have a good track record. If a big company with a good brand name like Boeing or Airbus hired you for that, they might buy it. A company with reputation on the line will be more likely to invest in quality control than your local hospital (which usually refuses to publish any statistics or prices).
- wwkeyboard 13y agoBut where does that track record come from? It sounds like you are now defending the protectionism your previous comment was decrying.
- unono 13y agoWhere does a typical carpenter, web developer, entreprenuer, hedge fund manager's reputation come from? Word of mouth from previous clients. In the beginning a company with needs hires you and your reputation builds over time. As I said above, I think Boeing does a fine job of minimizing errors. The AMA, teaching hospitals and local hospitals don't.
