Perhaps if you want to gatekeep for the most stubborn individuals, but you'll lose a lot of talent that way.

Isn't programming already mostly for the most stubborn individuals? I don't know many non-programmers who would willingly bang their head against the same problem for days, especially when in front of a computer.

I guess it's as much "gatekeeping" as being required to formulate plans and balance tradeoffs is "gatekeeping".
