As a developer, this sounds to me like a nightmare scenario. There is nothing more meritocratic than software development. It's the results that count. Once we start allowing regulation and systematic barriers to entry, it will be bad for everyone. I personally do not see the law as a model to aspire to along any number of dimensions.
- dkuntz2 13y agoI disagree. Regulation can be beneficial in many cases, even if it drives up the barrier to entry a little. Certification for big projects, specifically public projects, is important, and exists in most fields (including ours, the US government requires contractors to be a certain CMMI level). Codifying certain requirements in law is not a terrible decision, going too far can be.
- SDGT 13y agoSpecifications must be presented by a properly accredited government sponsor for the formal specification submission to the House of Specifications. Any changes to the specification will be voted on during one of the three days during the week in which the gathering is in session. Upon agreement by the House, the amended specification will be presented to the Deliberative Committee on Specifications,during which time the honorable Speaker of the Deliberative Committee on Specifications will query the members for additional amendments. If the specification is amended, it will be returned to the House for further deliberation and promoted again to the Committee. Upon agreement by the Committee, the specification will be published in the Specification Czars vestibule for community exposure for at least thirty days. All that for a to do list app :)
