And people wonder why I've argued that, at some point, IT needs to be a certified and regulated profession like lawyers, doctors, engineers, nurses, pilots, accountants, electricians, plumbers, teachers, etc.

Awesome idea. The same governments who are sending RFPs to burtonator's company will then have the ability to decide who is even allowed to work in the industry.

How exactly do you think bridges and buildings are built? Who do you think operates the state bar for lawyers? Who do you think operates public school teacher certification?

Looking around the room, I don't see any bridges or chalkboards or courtroom paraphernalia. I see a personal computer. How exactly do you think the machine you're typing on was built?!

Do you want to go back to the 1970s? Because this is how you get back to the 1970s, when only a rarefied priesthood had access to computing power.

Don't expect to accomplish that without encountering strong opposition.
