That's very cool. I've been thinking about "detailed" prerequisite structures (e.g. [1]) for a long time, but I never thought about connecting with occupations/jobs/competencies. In addition to replacing resumes, it could also replace exams (e.g. mastery-based grades).

I like the idea, which is work for autodidact/professional who want to master their craftmanship. There is always something to learn. By giving mastery path as a guide would help on self-improvement.

We've seen it in Pluralsight or FreecodeCamp where they made the paths for their users. Now, if we can turn it around by making it crowd sourced and to a wider skills, that'd be awesome.
