Software engineers should unionize. We’re not real engineers until we have professional standards that are enforced (as well as liability for what we make). Virtually every other profession has some mandatory license or other mechanism to bring credibility and standards to their fields. AI just further emphasizes the need for such an institution.


A substantial amount of our field would then be unemployable. A significant number of whoever was left would be complaining about the new standards.
