Think chefs at top restaurants for example: washing hands is something obvious, no need to get any customer infected with fecal bacteria in order to convince the restaurant management for investing into soap (hygiene takes time, you could serve additional customer!)

It is one of career progression milestones for a programmer when they can set a bar for their craftsmanship themselves. Successful SWE is someone who got hired at a team which does not require this kind of education. A team where this type of engineering hygiene is obvious like breathing.

Im actually curious what happens in a professional kitchen when someone isnt pulling weight on menial tasks like scrubbing or batch prep. I know what usually happens in software teams - nothing

Having worked in professional kitchens, my experience is that nothing predictable happens.

It depends not just on management, but also on the personal relationship between management and the person, and on how bad the current market for staff is.

That said, the kitchens I've worked in were filled with people who worked as hard, or harder than the FAANG teams I was a part of.
