I agree with the frustration but I think heavily regulated professions often copy+paste even more. See: modern Western medicine, where most of what being a general physician is involves following a flow chart. You get really bad outcomes from it too. I’d like to have standard professional certification because I could use it as proof of the effort I put into understanding software engineering that many ICs have not. But I think that many people have “that’ll do it” values and whatever professional context you put them in, they will do the worst possible acceptable job. The best you can do is not hire them and we try to do that already — with LeetCode, engineering interviews, and so on. That effort does work when companies make it.
