That tweet is just plain ignorant. Medical school graduates go through several years of residency, which is closely supervised on-the-job training, before becoming physicians. It's rigorous, stressful, and the hours are very long. For the US in particular, residency for surgeons lasts 5 years and residency for neurosurgeons, since the tweet mentions brain surgery, lasts for 7 years; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residency_(medicine)#United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residency_(medicine)#United_St...
If the people who repeat this dumb meme want to do the effective equivalent of five to seven years of continuous examination on top of a rigorous college education before becoming developers just so they can have less rigorous interviews, they're welcome to go for it.
