An interesting read. The advocated actions have many similarities with the guild system.
I think we'd have fewer security problems if we had a tech guild. It would keep unqualified people from becoming sysadmins, for one.
If you think Guilds would solve security problems instead of just propping up security theater, I've got a bridge to sell you.
Like locksmiths who have produced locks with the same flawed design for six millennia now, and instead of fixing it, they're still keeping the act and even went after whistleblowers before.
"How did you get in here?"
"I'm a locksmith, and I'm a locksmith. The unstated part of this joke is that us locksmiths make locks super easy to crack, we just don't share the details with everybody."
A lock is just a suggestion. A determined thief will find a way beyond it.
