And we all know that the industries with "managed professions", the
medical industry comes to mind, manages their professions so well that
we never have cases of fraud and deception.
So let's hope we never get to see the day that a self-appointed elite
will manage the industry.
We're all much better off if we compete on output and productivity. And
everyone knows there's no link between education and productivity in
programming.
