Canvas is a new way to write and code with ChatGPT

Programmers have been against unions/licenses in software development because we saw it as slowing down our ability to job hop, potentially massively lowering wages, and making a large barrier to entry (which hurts a lot of us who started as kids/teens).

Now there's a chance that this unregulated wild west with a low barrier to entry that's benefited us for so long will come back to bite us in the ass. Kind of spooky to think about.

I would be in favor of some kind of state approved exam/certification to ensure programmers have at least some basic knowledge of computer security and engineering ethics.

I doubt it. In my experience autodidacts are the best programmers I know.

The problem is they would most certainly require a CS degree to apply (if it's left to the bureaucrats), which would be the barrier.

I don't know if that's true. If I was in a WGA/DGA equivalent in my field that offered health care and scale pay that would be great!

I bet if you asked most programmers whether they'd like to have a professional guild similar to the writers who just went on strike, you'd probably be surprised, especially for gaming devs.
