Is it time that tech becomes a licensed profession? Medicine, law, engineering, etc already are because their decisions have serious consequences, and the same is true for writing code. This would also solve the oversaturation issue and create a protected job market for tech workers.
>>108017438if that happened, I'd lose my job lmaobut honestly, it SHOULD happen. either that or tech unions, simply because it would protect the profession.
it would only impede young white people from entering the market while pajeets would just cheat themselves into a getting a license
>>108017459Why didn't that happen with lawyers and doctors then? This system ensures a higher level of meritocracy.
Will never happen. The entire industry is built on accepting no liability and everyone in it believes it. >>108017491It did, at least with doctors. Jeets avoid law because their accents make them automatically lose every single case and nobody will hire them
>>108017438Yes the time was actually decades ago but now Google and Apple are having to take it into their own hands at great expense. The xz backdoor should be enough to ensure nobody ever runs anonymously-authored code ever again.
>>108017438computer science is a licensed profession, you would know this if you weren't a /g/eet that just finished their durgasoft java course
>>108017743>computer science is a licensed profession,No it's not lol. You're talking about certificates which are optional and merely give you a slight edge among the unwashed masses. You don't actually need a license to legally practice computer science.
>>108017561>It did, at least with doctors.No it didn't. Medical licensing boards don't have a bunch of indians giving each other fake medical licenses. Licensing boards and other professional governance bodies are highly protected institutions. If they're compromised then it's glaringly obvious and immediately investigated.
>>108017438You would need ex-programmers in positions of (politicial) power to be able to separate the competent from the bullshit so that it can properly expand.So just like everything else nothing can be done until the current batch of boomers finally fucking die off and relinquish power from their rigor mortis hands. Fun fact in the last 34 years, for only 8 of them the president wasn't born between 1942 and 1946
