Tech designers should be licensed, says Silicon Valley designer Mike Monteiro

Mike Montiero is quite a character, but requiring designers to go through some sort of licensing is absolutely ridiculous. As a commenter said, this will only create a protectionist racket.

Also, what about product managers, engineers and others that make feature decisions? What does it mean to be a licensed designer?

>I would bet that as soon as government begins infringing on the rights to work which affect HN usere, suddenly everyone here would be a civil libertarian.

I stated the above, and was downvoted for it a couple days ago. I would bet your comment continues to receive more upvotes.

I've been here for a while—I'd say that most of those on Hacker News are civil libertarians?

Looking at your previous comment, I think you were being downvoted for tone. I doubt anyone here is in support of a license to cut hair.
