10+ years ago when I worked in fancy kitchens we would every once in a while get a white collar guy (always a guy) interested in changing careers to something they could be "passionate" about. I saw it work a couple times but never with tech people. We stopped even letting them try lol. They'd come in expecting to be in a position of authority, expecting us to be grateful for all the changes they'd immediately want to make to how we did things.
To some extent this was also true of the other professionals. But they'd usually shake it once they got humbled by seeing up close how fast a good cook can actually shuck perfect oysters or just calmly handle the intensity of the line during dinner. Never saw a programmer adapt to it.
