He was previously warned, he accepted the warning and promised not to do it again... and then he of course did it again. What's your moral concern exactly?
My moral concern is some "board" gets to become the sole arbitrator of who is an "engineer". Ideally the board's warning must have been thrown into dustbin.
Why exactly? Are engineers somehow special? What about RN's, and architects, and home inspectors? All licensed positions. I could list a thousand different role which require licensing because a mistake in their field has serious repercussions, especially regarding safety.
I don't think most software devs should require licensing, but they're not doing what I and many others would consider 'real' engineering. At least, their mistakes don't often have serious impact on people. We're not talking about that here though, we're talking about civil engineering.
