    LA Times today, advocating that being a designer should be regulated and licensed. Basically: “What I do is very important; more important than what other people do. People should be required to receive training I never received. Also growth = cancer meme.” GFYpic.twitter.com/vquSPgSW7V

        Occupational licensure is odious at all levels. Cutting people out of entry level jobs unless they pay exorbitant fees to educational gatekeepers hurts the poor and self taught the most.

        Is he conflating graphic design with product management?

        No one ever pushes him on what those licensing requirements would look like. My guess it has very little to do with actual design and more the kinds of companies/ideas that are permissible to work on.

        There's also the weird meme that licencing somehow magically imbues people with professional ethics.

        this is a debate that goes back 40 years. Industrial Designers- who pioneered what is now called UX/UI were not licensed. Ironically Interior Designers were. following in the steps of Architects. Alas the time is past for this ever since the "profession" gave away its automoimy

        The appropriate response to the cancer analogy is "well, you've just described smothering an infant with a pillow."

        The guy being interviewed openly advocates punching libertarians in the face so this doesn’t surprise me.
