Re: Can someone please explain
I've worked with plenty of idiots who'd be out of work if you had to go through some type of certification.
Sure, they're experienced... but experienced at writing the same shit for the past 10 years. If I mentioned SQL Injection to them, they'd think it was a jab you need when visiting India.
This industry is already short of workers (apparently), reducing the workforce numbers and increasing wages would cripple it. Companies would rather have a crap developer than none (or an expensive one).
