So, like professional orders in Europe? Thankfully everybody agreed that writing code is not engineering so this isn't mandated by law, but we were this close.
You don't need a permit or degree to draw up plans, just to write your name on the official version and get it implemented in the physical world. It's closer to deploying code than writing.
We have a lot of that in Europe. Parasite professions. Someone who does nothing but charges a lot for his signature.
