it feels like bad/spaghetti code with bad practices are more common than not and i've always wondered if the relatively intense level of gatekeeping in the software engineering field is a manifestation of a false mass belief that an engineering degree will automatically result in better code.

Interesting, as I haven't come across gatekeeping in the software world.... The electrical engineering world is legitimately gatekept by government regulations and engineering bodies that legally separate out degree holding engineers from everyone else, vs in software I've found it does not matter that I'm self taught as long as I can explain why I think what I think.

Where have you seen it in the software world?
