> Does it bother you that every day, your personal information is transferred between a massive number of services created, maintained and secured by individuals with no security or ethical training whatsoever?
No, it doesn't bother me at all.
What does bother me is large companies such as Google have a business model that is based on them gathering as much information as possible about everyone, and then using that information to manipulate them, typically into buying things.
Credentialism will not solve that problem.
> We will have employers that can pressure programmers to go directly against their morals and ethics to get what they want.
Credentialism in programming will not solve that problem either. What will solve it is:
- a reduction in income and wealth inequality, and a basic income, so that employees have more bargaining power with respect to employers
>- laws against big companies behaving badly
well, actually big companies do in fact use their influence to suborn those laws to get away with bad behavior and create barriers to competition. It would probably be simpler to put an upper limit on the size of any organization (government too) and use vigilante justice to enforce the limit, HHOS.
