You're right, it's not that hard. A lot of the gatekeeping is because the departments are run by nontechnical people who just don't understand your skill set. They also need to guard the bullshit and not let anyone realise it's just really shoddy programming at the end of the day.

I love the sarcasm, but id advise you to mark it as such.

Hn readers are very literal on the whole.

That's not a rebuttal. It's absolutely non-technical gatekeepers looking for certificates.

Graduates get mad because they realize they've wasted a bunch of money on something they can learn for free, so they reject the notion and make others go through the same abusive system.

Do you have any proof that non technical managers are setting the hiring bar and writing the requirements for data science positions at most companies, which is what it seriously sounds like you’re implying. The guy above you was joking
