Mate, don't point it out! Just enjoy how nice it is being able to be a "professional" without having to be a professional and regulated all the time. Imagine in ten years if they brought in a bunch of tests you had to do to get a programmers license - I'd honestly probably just change career, and in the end we'd just end up with a further shortage of programmers. I use basically nothing of what I learned at uni to do my job. Everyone knows that the best devs usually didn't have any formal education. It's all based on merit - let's just keep it that way as it seems to work fine. As a counter example - I'm currently living in Germany and I need a guy to fix up the walls of my house. Problem is it's impossible to find anyone to do it because there's not enough qualified craftsmen in the country. Everything is so tightly regulated that nothing gets done anymore, so instead there's a move towards folk trying to do it for themselves and buying materials from non-regulated big American-style hardware stores. Wouldn't life be better if we all had a broader skill set and were able to hack things together ourselves in an unofficial capacity like programmers do? |

You mean like leet code, white bording and take home tests? Except that instead of being standardized/credentialized, every company has a different variation you need to study or do unpaid work, for every interview.
Yeah, good thing we don't have that kind of testing, this is so much better./s
