Surgeons are vetted way beforehand by tests that are way harder and way more stressful than any engineering interview round. They also possess a widely recognized credential from (usually) reputable schools. Software doesn't have anything close to a surgeon's credentials as far as wide recognition/acceptance and rigor go.

I would love a widely recognized and rigorous credential that I could study for and work towards if it meant I never had to do another technical interview again. They can be less rigorous than surgeons since we're not saving lives, obviously.
