No other profession trivialises their profession to the degree of software

Software in 2022 is overwhelmingly built with little to no consequence and is made up of other components which are overwhelmingly developed by unpaid volunteers on an AS-IS basis that are being financially neglected.

Most of the other professions listed there involve significant risk to health or life if the practitioner gets it wrong. This is true of some software projects, but not at all to others. People had been building for millenia before practice was standardised and regulated. Engineering had a few hundred years. Software has been around for around 70 years in total its still a very new area. I'm not convinced we yet know what good practice really is, and premature regulation could impede establishing that. However, where the results of mistakes can involve significant harm, we should probably be moving towards some form of regulation. In the UK, government contracts have requirements of the methodology for development, and they seem to have got it utterly wrong, as government IT projects are notorious for being late, buggy and expensive. So much so that I will no longer accept work in these fields. Incorrect regulation can be more harmful than none.

Stopped right there. People who say this have no understanding of unintended consequences and how things get politicized and corrupted. The writer is ignorant and, as is proper to the ignorant, should shut up.

As has been seen over the last few years, ignorance knows no 'proper.' You could say they are 'ignorant' of the term. :doh:
