I'm always curious how people interview doctors. As bad as getting a bad programmer might potentially be, getting a bad doctor must be exponentially worse, so you'd think they'd have vetting the unqualified folks down to a science by now.
- efaref 5y agoIn most countries doctors and other health professionals are registered and licensed, and must submit to strict examinations. Mistakes can also be career-ending and potentially result in criminal prosecution. It's way harder to get hired as a doctor than "do a bit of leetcode on a whiteboard".
- geodel 5y agoExactly. Somehow there is this impression that software engineers are having it really hard and they face worst job requirements/interviews. I'd imagine software/IT might be only place where people who have delivered a couple of toy sized, half-assed webapps are now experts commenting on 'engineering challenges' and 'industry trends' with profundity.

They go through several years of medical residency under supervision before becoming a full fledged doctor and are burdened by expensive liability insurance and ongoing education requirements. That takes care of the competency beforehand.
