I just lost my job as a civil engineer and I’ve been trying to find resources, forums, staffing agencies, etc to help land me a job and all of what’s out there online talks about faang, leetcode, programming bullshit, etc. Call yourselves Computer scientists, programmers, hogs, i don’t care, please for the love just stop dominating all the ‘engineering’ discourse.
Speaking as a software dev, I really wish we had some goddamned standards and industry-level certifications (e.g., IEEE-issued, not vendor-specific bullshit) in this field.
I don't know about that. This probably won't actually improve safety much and also disadvantage people who don't have access to formal schooling. Better to punish people for being negligent.
Someone died because of your shitty software? Jail. Manager made you cut corners? Jail for that guy too. Put the CEO or whoever is in charge in jail out of principle.
