Pointless, no matter how you spin it. Real engineers deal with measurable items like gravity and wind and light that don't change. Software can be anything, any language, any target, any industry, any size, any skill level required, etc. There is nothing practical to test that relates to everything. In my 3 decades of being a programmer there is absolutely nothing meaningful remaining from my first job: if I had had some magical license it would be pointless today.
