> Lobby the government to prohibit anyone from practicing programming without a license.

No way you're getting consensus on this one, but even if you could, it's too hard to stop. If you charge for compilers, and only provide them to licensed developers, hippies will make and distribute compilers for free.

The hippies wouldnt be licenced but if they could they cant provide a certified corporate party to be liable for damages.

Consensus isnt needed, just enough beurocracy to make development expensive.
