Excellent, excellent, point.
One can draw two lines, describing three loose 'divisions':
logic which works with hardware directly.
logic which works within an Operating System.
But setting up a SE association must be a benefit to industry and community. History suggests professional associations (PAs) are most likely when they reduce corporate liability when government increases corporate liability.

@williampietri@sfba.social PAs know the rules, enforce them, and advocate for changes with governing bodies. Members at a Co. will reduce that company's risk of fine/lawsuit. Their involvement with gov't will improve specificity and sensitivity of rules. To get there, devs need to talk about ethics, & what rules should be in place to not harm people/communities/world. We and government need to know this. We need to know existing rules, and inform each other about them. This is a duty, not just a good..
