Full Title
The people in the computer field want to be considered professionals, but they haven't taken the steps necessary to earn that.
Context
- Ever since the Code of Hammurabi professionals have been held accountable for their actions. When ever a licensed medical care provider or professional engineer signs in an official capacity, they add their professional designation, (e.g. MD or PE) to their signature to indicate their professional capacity and to accept accountability for their actions.
- While computer programmers like to consider their professional status, they neither sign their work product nor take any accountability for the correct operation of their work product.
- The common behavior of programmers is to create terms of use as a Contract of Adhesion specifically to exclude any liability including "fitness for use".
Problems
- As the past Editor in Chief has claimed "Computing, You Have Blood on Your Hands." [1] But there are no Computer Professionals to be found to take any responsibility.
Facebook has "substantially contribute" to human rights violations perpetrated against Myanmar Rohingya people. ... It is time for all Computer Professionals to accept responsibility for computing's current state. ... Admitting we have a problem is a necessary first step toward addressing the problems computing has created.
