Professional labour value isn't synonymous with late stage capitalism without ethics or morals.

Now if you mean for own much one is willing to sell themselves to late stage capitalism, producing low quality products and entshtification, maybe that is the bang for buck right there.

How do you explain the low quality of software coming out of all of the other countries you have mentioned with protected titles?

The software is happening regardless of title and you haven’t given any examples of the value of where kissing the ring to get the certification has been critical to Canada/Germany/Switzerland producing better software.

  • Are all programmers called engineers in these countries?

    You've made such a wild assumption that I'm convinced you're more interested in fighting then discussing

    • No, im looking for literally any evidence that the quality of software that comes from areas that require the protected name is better than something like the NASA coding guidelines.

  • There are engineers, and there are brick layers.

    You mean Android's great quality, or Chrome CVEs by the way?

    • Just because you have an engineering degree doesn't mean your code is of better quality and security than someone without an engineering degree.

      Signed, someone with an CS engineering degree.

    • I mean the quality of people following NASAs C style guidelines.

      Where is there any evidence that people using the protected title are producing higher quality software than companies in equivalent industries in the US?

The government is the one selling you out to late stage capitalism through rampant inflation, business and fiscal regulations and deregulation, offshoring, and various nefarious policies on housing and labor migration.

People just adapt to survive by taking the best paying jobs, since voting clearly doesn't help them.

Don't tell me you're not developing SW for the highest bidder and would take the salary of a fast food worker out of class empathy just to stick it to the evil capitalist.

  • That is the difference between the US mentality of the winner takes it all that has given us late stage capitalism, entshitification and Trump, and most of the world.

    Quality of life and health matters more than anything else.

    After a certain point, more money doesn't bring any of that, one is not taking the money into the grave, other than build a mausoleum.

    • You talk around the issue throwing the blame on others, but you intentionally avoided answering my question, as if you're not part of the problem, and are working for peanuts, virtue signal points and "thank-yous". Sorry but my bank and landlord doesn't accept those, only money and the government makes sure those get more and more expensive.
