Do we allow for self taught doctors or accountants?

Also, these regulations aren’t being developed for all servers, just ones that can cause major economic damage if they stop functioning. And you don’t need everyone to be qualified to run the service. How many water treatment pants are there where you only have a small set of managers running the plant, but most people aren’t licensed to do so?

Is this limitation good? Furthermore, software development is something very easy to learn with 0 consequences.

Many of those have excellent self-taught devs developing software for them- I know some of them.

  1. Maintenance is very different from software development.

  2. Good software development requires at minimum expansive automated testing…

Do you trust anyone claiming to be self taught with the responsibility to design something that, if it fails, will cause billions in economic damage? Not the people you know, anyone who claims to be self taught?

I shouldn’t be trusted if I hire without vetting and hand over control of a massive project to someone off the street without any QA controls, code review, or automated testing.
