But sergeons have been learning biology, chemistry and physics from early on (and they have like 10 years of secondary schooling, no one expects them to know how to cut people after two trimesters), architects have been learning math and doing arts (arts take time as you say), ees physics, math again. Even lawyers have been taught how to read and critically assess text from young age. I am not sure this is a good argument, to be good at something you always have to do it for a long time. There are things like "how to swap the value in two variables", that are trivial, but we should "teach" them way earlier, it's the way of thinking (and both functional and imperative is needed to absorb). Plus it will have great impact on people not following this career, because they will more often realize that they're doing repetitive tasks which could be automated. We would have much more pressure on software companies not to produce shitty software if people were as lazy as us programmers.
