Programming is somewhat unique in the size and complexity of the structures expert practitioners have to hold and maintain. But only somewhat. It would be certainly be interesting to compare with other professionals with similar years of experience.

How might one quantify "size and complexity" for different domains? Physical architecture seems to me like maybe it's somewhat similar to programming, but even that seems hard to me to compare. Fiction author also seems like an interesting comparison, but again, I 'm unsure of how to begin to quantify size/complexity in a way that's apples-to-apples with programming.
