Agreed, I never asserted against these two points. The point of licensure is to make the first round, which is fairly routine at this point, more equitable and less susceptible to probabilistic effects. It also frees labor from administering this exam round to every candidate.
- rockemsockem 2y agoHow often do other industries relicense? How often would you propose relicensing for programming jobs? My concern would be skill atrophy between relicensing and then you'd still want to do the same sorts of interviews.
- pseudalopex 2y agoOther industries do not require repeating the license exam. Many have continuing education or other professional development requirements. These can be expensive and time consuming but not difficult generally.
