(Posted here because the original authore requires registration...)

We will ship s#!t
-because we do not have any minimum training or entrance exams before you can take the profession of "programmer"
-because our work is not subject to observation and criticism by our professional peers at the code level
-because independent standards are either missing or not enforced

Consider the difference in perception if you are introduced to someone who is a "Doctor" and someone who is a "Developer". The former word evokes ideas about professionalism and competence in 95% of people. I'm afraid that the latter does not.
