You can see this with a "new" ANY dev, because there are only 4 years of college and far more years are required to learn the increasingly complex technology environment. I graduated with a Computer Engineering degree, did assembly, C, microprocessor design, computer vision, and know a good bit about lower level stuff, how memory works, how networking works, etc. All the stuff people in this thread seem to be lamenting the lack of. But I was also a shitty employee fresh out of school because I didn't know anything at all about modern software development because there was absolutely no time to learn that stuff as well. I still had to spend a lot of time getting good before I was worth anything, just as these "new frontend devs" will, as well. |

Yeah, but modern software development is trivial to learn, particularly in comparison to a computer engineering degree. You see "developers" here on HN gloating all the time about how they didn't need any post-secondary education at all to get their jobs; these frameworks are literally designed to be usable even by minimally skilled coders. You were in a much better position having to learn modern software development after a computer engineering education rather than having to learn the rudiments of computer engineering on the job after getting an education in modern web development.
