>there are many more competent lawyers and designers out there
Curious if you could elaborate on how you came to this conclusion? According to ONET [1] there are 819k lawyers in the U.S. but 1.469MM software programmers.
If you come from a software background I wonder if it’s easier to spot an incompetent programmer than an incompetent attorney which could bias the heuristic. Or do you think there’s something else at play that makes the proportion of competent software developers inherently much lower? E.g., there’s no “bar exam” for programmers to ensure a basic level of competence
