It's sorta following the same format as these memes:
Nobody:
Joe Rogan: Chimpanzees should do DMT
Meaning that "nobody" is the first speaker, addressing the world in general. It's not invoking a particular programmer/doctor relationship.
I was blinded by my own irritation at medical doctors who act pissed because people took on some burden for their own medical care. that first line is so loaded that all I could think about is how fucked healthcare is in the US - MDs train like crazy and then don't even have a chance to spend time with patients & actually care for them. it's so atrocious. you're way better off if you do act as a "self-taught doctor" IMO, and that feels like a parallel to programmers. but your explanation is 100% correct.
