The person who cuts my hair has a formal license on the mirror. The guy who fixes the pipes in my old house has a license, as does my doctor, my lawyer, and the guy who flies me around the country. Heck, even the kid next door has a driver's license. But the person who developed the architecture, wrote the code, and manages my IT operation is not only unlicensed, he or she has no formal proof whatsoever of competence beyond a college degree and some experience.
