Can we not trust degrees and work experience? That's 99% of doctors too? I mean this whole zero trust thing about people’s backgrounds is getting really fucki

  It’s also funny because we seem to trust and select doctors by google reviews and assume they have a valid diploma and license to consult us for our lives, but we have to grill some poor software engineer previously working in faang with another 10 leetcode interviews to be ‘sure’ he’s a good fit. lol

  No, we can't. Degrees are what we are using already, and they are demonstrably failing. Plus, degrees from other countries might as well be pure fiction. Nobody knows what they actually represent. Work experience? I once interviewed a guy who claimed to have Technology XYZ experience. He made it all the way to the final interview before I got to talk to him. "So you worked with XYZ, yeah?" "Oh yes!" "That's cool. It just so happens that I did a training class with some of your coworkers in a different department a year or two ago. XYZ is used in the Billing Dept. That seems strange to me. You were in Web. So you had access to customer data?" "Well....no." They hired the guy anyway, over my objections, and a few weeks later he hosed up my biggest disaster recovery server during an OS upgrade.
