Stigma of Programmer Term
This exists in highly unbalanced mind of the author of the comment. Looks to me as a revenge of a hacker to the stigma attached to that term 20:49, 25 July 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.36.27.35 (talk)

PEO Licencing Software Engineers
That link #28 (as of Feb 10, 2014) is currently broken. The article which that link is supposed to point to is also six years out of date. The PEO currently accepts Software Engineering as a valid "stream" and licences engineers who practice Software Engineering (in Ontario). I'm in that stream to receive my certification. This paragraph requires some cleanup. Jarod (talk) 21:45, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

nice try Hired.com and DevFactor
someone slipped in a little link to Hired.com as a direct link, not as a citation. The article talks about that one company but there are many others that also have been involved in gauging the skill of software engineers. Good try though trying to up the search ranking of Hired!

The offending sentence for the historical record:

Services such as Hired are trying to better gauge the coding ability of an engineer, given not all engineers progress their abilities at the same rate.

What's funny is that the link is broken.

U.S-centric tone and stats
the article has a lot of U.S. related information and software engineering is a global field though it may have gotten its start in the US and European countries. I'm sure we can dig up stats in other places that make this a more global article.
