All engineering professions are like that. NCEES has been licensing Professional Engineers for over a hundred years. The only thing stopping CS/SE is an unwillingness to submit to anything resembling oversight.

If someone can't explain something in their own words, then they don't _really_ understand it. The process of taking time to think through a topic and check one's understanding, even if only for oneself and the rubber duck,

Emacs on a Link MC5, although something doesn't like how the terminal handles flow control. I'm not sure if it's the O/S, the UART, the cable, or the terminal, but I have issues with I/O corruption. Even something

Emojis aren't 7-bit clean. They're hard to type. They don't mean things the same way words do. `foo | grep -i error` communicates intent better than `foo | grep :-/` or whatever goofy hieroglyph someone chose instead

I really wish you wouldn't. All the rinky dink colors and animations screw with the CLI output when you don't correctly detect whether the user's running the app interactively. Keep it plain text. Regular, old, boring outpu

I'm very impressed. This isn't a paper so much as a monograph. And I'm very inclined to agree with the results of this study, which makes me suspicious. To what journal was this submitted? Where's the peer review? H

I wish there was a big, friendly "buy now" link that would get me the print book and EPUB file. The site promotes the book. I'm not sure why they don't make buying it stupid simple.

What you suggested here is trivial with existing tools—linters in the first case, search-and-replace functions in editors for the second. I have yet to see any evidence of the third case. I'm close to banning AI for my junior devs. T
