Re: AKA Libertarians
When you do embedded work, you had better be an engineer and be able to prove it.
From a risk perspective... if you do embedded systems work on an RTOS based application where people could be harmed... if not an engineer, that company faces a potential major lawsuit if an accident happens and the developer was not an engineer.
From a technical perspective... very few who do not have an engineer degree can actually do the work properly.
