> Lawyers and doctors are asked trivial questions just a handful of times in their careers during their bar examinations and boards.

Of course, this obviously means there are examinations and governing boards that certify laywers and doctors as fit to practice. I doubt most people in the industry would prefer that we start moving towards that.

Or maybe not. I dunno. Those of us who went through traditional CS programs would certainly benefit from such a system greatly. But the lack of formal entry barriers is part of what makes the industry fantastic, and perhaps the very fluid and sometimes irritating interview process is just part of keeping those entry barriers away from tech.
