I don't understand. Do you people just figured out how to write good software? Not long ago, 70% of projects just failed. Not were written badly, but just weren't completed at all. I don't know current number. But looking around me, it's so obvious that we don't know how to write good software. For a reasonable price anyway.

What that PE certification will check? That guy knows how to write unit tests? Well, that's not much. Who will write certification? Where's that genius, why he's hiding from the rest of us?

Maybe building is figured out. I don't know. I still see bridges failing and buildings crushed, so apparently it's not perfect. But I do know that programming is not figured out. Absolutely not. We can apply tremendous effort, pay billions and produce some simple firmware which can be uploaded to a martian rover. But that doesn't scale to the rest of industry.
