This is funny because the same exact joke could be made about software engineers due to them not having a professional certification like electrical, civil, etc.
That's where I thought the joke was going when I first read it.
There is PE licensing for software engineers though?
As of 2013 I believe, but it was discontinued in 2019. Fairly rare to see in the wild outside of specific domains like medical device coding or other areas where failure isn't acceptable.
