A PE for software engineering was available for a while: https://ncees.org/ncees-discontinuing-pe-software-engineerin...

But there wasn't enough demand and it was discontinued.

The legal framework for software liability is tightening. The Cyber Resilience Act is one such example that forces developers to get their act together.

Back when I worked at Boeing, I was encouraged to get a PE license. I looked into it. I was not impressed with the exam (it was too basic), nor the requirements, and so did not bother.

This is a zero-value post.

"I decided for myself that X wasn't worth me pursuing as a path for my career." Good for you.

I made the same decision for professional photography and cardiac surgery, but both of those careers still hold value to society.

The point was that the PE cert is a low bar as an indication of competence.
