> Doctors? It seems true... Not at all. Having jumped from the medical field to software, I can tell you that medicine is its own uniquely hellish world full of nasty tensions nobody talks about in honest terms and wicked problems that don't really have solutions... But I do think that in a way the problems of the two industries can be similar: they both fail miserably at properly separating the work and responsibilities into different professions that make sense. Like, in medicine, taking MDs alone, you should have at least these separate professions inside each speciality: - Patient Relations people - from PatR-agent to PatR-manager - Diagnosticians - *partially* replaceable by AI in the future - Patient Treatment Managers - Patient Team Manager - Clinical Research Project Operator - Clinical Research Project Manager - Clinical Research Project Architect - ... You should have different schools/universities/majors preparing different kinds of people for these separate kinds of jobs!!! And after this, actual partition into medical specialties might actually be more flexible, some MDs actually have multiple specialties and that can work, but cumulating all the functions above into what one person leads to extreme overload, it's like the software equivalent of having a full-stack-web-plus-security-plus-embeded-software-engineer that also has to take on project manager responsibilities! Overload + partitioning across the wrong dimension ("organ-system-based"-specialities that makes no sense in modern medicine since we know all diseases manifest across all body systems) + the separate socio-economical hellscape. Software industry has the excuse of being really really young, medicine on the other hand had decades (or centuries...) to figure things out, but it got it all wrong because optimizing for profit and personal-ego-development trumped everything... Anyway, you're not right, you're more than right :) Things are so good in software that we forget how totally f'ed up the rest of the world is...
