This is crystal clear, to the point, and well put. The response to your comment makes no sense and is all over the place.

Anything that starts with 'there's a lot to unpack ' is going to be mental gymnastics communicated in a patronizing tone to defend someone's ego.

Just wanted to say I agree with all of your points and think it does tech a disservice to treat it like a blue collar job instead of a profession but at the same time the lack of professional strictness has led to alot of rapid innovation.

So it's hard to tell what's right.

Blue collar work isn’t a profession?

Trades people are certainly professionals.

Not saying that trades people aren't professional and work with professionalism.

But there's a common understanding of the noun professional as the upper tier White collar jobs.

accountants lawyers doctors etc
