This has nothing to do with you writing webapps as a side job. It's about having some way for those corporations to prove the people who are verifying your work

This has nothing to do with you writing webapps as a side job. It's about having some way for those corporations to prove the people who are verifying your work are competent to do so. That is the _whole_ point of the PE stamp!
- moron4hire 13y agoThey said the people working for government and big corps wouldn't be subject to the license. The very people most likely to be writing or verifying code that might hurt people are exempted under some hand waiving "big corps will certify themselves", under some sort of code review process or something. So why don't they just certify themselves? Why the license? And it's not my side job anymore. It's my full livelihood. It doesn't seem any of this has teeth yet, but when will it? And yearly fees? This is so obviously nothing more than rent seeking. Fuck it, I'll just move. Oh, wait, I can't. My wife has an electrical engineering job with a branch of the government. They also are not required to license themselves, and they write code that affects more lives than I do.
