I’m a support engineer for dental software. So difficult issues won’t get immediate resolutions, and instead development will actually have to fix things because offices will be crying at them for a fix instead of at me.

But the world won’t end.

      There are applications where we actually have to adhere to standards.

        Yeah, my post was mostly tongue-in-cheek. (I used to be the official-ish PCI guy where I worked, so I know about the standards to which you refer.) But at the same time, if software engineers didn’t exist, we soon wouldn’t have NFTs or DRM on cars, coffee makers, and garage doors or secret TV signals for spying on you via your smartphone etc.

          You don’t know what standard I’m talking about.

          You also have no idea how much of your daily life relies on software.

            You’re not taking what I’ve been saying the way I meant it.
