Getting into medicine is heavily gated (getting into med school, graduating, getting into residency, etc), ensuring that only the top N% of people who would like to do so actually can, while the only gate for devs is getting a job, and it seems that nearly everyone who wants to does so. So the top 5-10% of devs is not really comparably to the top 5-10% doctors, because the latter have effectively been allowed to drop the lowest-performing (100-N)% of their peers. I would ballpark that N is well under 50 for doctors, and well over 90 for devs.
