There is no professional developer in the US. There are no licensing requirements to write code. There are no repercussions against developers that write code that immiserate or kill Americans. The person slinging wordpress plugins at an agency is equivalent to the person writing malware at Meta in the eyes of the government.

No one is training us because there are no regulations in our industry. Sorry but I still reject the premise of the other poster.

Also yes, in other industries professionals do complain when they aren't given their mandated time to learn while working on the job.
