Comment Anti-SE Consensus? (Score 1) 428
Having read numerous comments on the topic of software becoming a distinct and regulated engineering profession, a rather anti-SE trend is evident. It seems as though the majority of the people are against such industry regulation. Why? My impression is that many are not engineers but would like the 'right' to label themselves as such -- this is evidenced by the recent dispute between MCSE holders and regulatory chapters. Are these comments the product of a general fear of being 'left behind' as the software industry matures into an engineering discipline?
