> That does not apply here. Because more often than not, we don't prescribe products/services that our clients must go out and buy, without exception.

You know that treating patients is not only about picking the right medicament and writing prescriptions? It's about diagnosing, testing the hypotheses, optimizing for the particular patient case, learning about all the specific factors of their environment including the genetics, then we have surgeons, etc.

And yet I don't quite see doctors being on a time spending spree to become exquisite in all of those things. Nor do I see hospitals or clinics doing such knowledge and ability harness tests over their potential employees. Stakes are much higher in medicine than they are in software so it makes no sense at all to make an argument that doctors cannot "afford" it. They can, they have books and practice the same way we do. I don't get to modify the production system every day but yet I am learning constantly of how not to make those same production system go down when I do.

> It is not a normal thing to expect because in other fields there are few people who can afford to do that.

It's not a normal thing in software too, you know? Let's please stop normalizing things which are not normal. If there is one thing that makes me happy in this new era of AI-assisted development is that all this bs is coming to its end.

I am not normalizing anything!

I am just describing the logical behavior of an employer who wants to get the best person for the job.

About the other thing, I think I will let you have the last word since I feel that we are speaking past each other.
