@amgine@mstdn.ca I think one of our errors is to treat "software engineering" as a unified thing. Some of it is (or should be) actual engineering. Some is like the trades. A bunch is handwritten-handyman-ad-on-a-telephone pole work. That a bunch of people from the last skill category think they can work on life-critical stuff is deranged.

@williampietri@sfba.social @Warlockofwires@techhub.social @samir@mastodon.functional.computer Excellent, excellent, point. One can draw two lines, describing three loose 'divisions': logic which works with hardware directly. logic which works within an Operating System. But setting up a SE association must be a benefit to industry and community. History suggests professional associations (PAs) are most likely when they reduce corporate liability when government increases corporate liability. 1/2
