Ever since I read Steve McConnell's After The Goldrush, I've been listening to people tell me why software engineering should be exempt from the kind of controls that e.g. electrical engineering or medicine or plumbing are subject to.

The reason is almost always "Their work can do real harm".

Yeah? Look around you, dude.

@jasongorman For a quarter century, I've been of the opinion that software in the civic infrastructure needs to be regulated like most other professions.

And while aspects like NIS2, CRA, PLD et al go that route (finally), we're still far from chartered engineers.
