Comment on Let's blame the dev who pressed "Deploy"

Git Blame exists for a reason, and that’s to find the engineer who pushed the bad commit so everyone can work together to fix it.
Blame the Project manager/Middle manager/C-Level exec/Unaware CEO/Greedy Shareholders who allowed for a CI/CD process that doesn’t allow ample time to test and validate changes.
Software needs a union. This shit is getting out of control.
Or it needs to be a profession.
Licensed professional engineers are expected to push back on requests that endanger the public and face legal liability if they don’t. Software has hit the point where failure is causing the economic damage of a bridge collapsing.
Software engineering is too wide and deep for licensing to be feasible without a degree program- which would be a massive slap in the face to the millions of skilled self taught devs.
Some states let some people get professional licensure through experience alone. It just ends up taking more than a decade of experience to meet the equivalent requirements of a four year degree.
Sounds like the kind of oversight that tends to come with a union and the representation therein.
Lol, sadly not. Most professions do not have unions and representation, such that it is, falls mostly to the accreditation group.
And in the cases of healthcare and emergency dispatch, loss of life as well.

It needs unionizing. Unfortunately it pays too well and is filled with retarded libertarians.

Snowflake? Why are mentally disabled folks ok to make fun of? They didn’t pick it or do it, and it has nothing to do with good or bad politics.
Make fun of things people choose to do. Not shit they were born with.

Unions often create barriers to new people entering a field and driving wages down. This is an issue for many devs, like me, because I don’t have a degree, I’m self taught and freelance- I’m worried I’d be forced out of the field or into more formal employment by licensing or other requirements. Neither of which I want.

Yeah every time I’ve ever looked into it there’s always someone talking about “protecting the field from amateurs”. And usually that means protecting the field from people who don’t have a degree.
I actually do have a degree but it’s in forensics. I just let them fill the blank in for themselves and let them think it’s digital forensics.

Which I really don’t get, because to my knowledge no disproportionate amount of problems has been caused by self-taught devs.
It really feels more like either elitism or wanting to protect wages.
