I wish but I dont think we could be any futher away from professionalizing like engineering/law/accounting/medicine. There was a deliberate effort to flood the field and lower salaries and developers were so full of hubris and thought there was infinite demand for their labor and went along with it and still are. Maybe some are learning given the job market the last few years.
Despite software being in everything and harm to the public due to bad software has materialized every developer seems vehemently against professionalizing. Do you want a surgeon that went to surgeon bootcamp because "you dont need all those years in medical school to learn how to remove an appendix"? Do you even want an accountant who went to accountant bootcamp to do your taxes?
