Some call themselves Hackers, they love to bypass processes.

And some call themselves code monkeys, they know how to follow orders, but have no incentives at all to think by themselves for proper security.

Only a tiny fraction call themselves engineers.

I favor non-licensed free professions, but if you're free you should be able to follow best practices and be able to think for yourself.

huh thats strange because I have a BSE and graduated from engineering school. Sure the history major bootcamp grads arent real engineers and we need to weed them out of the industry but there are some of us who are actually real engineers
