While this is true, a manager really shouldn't be giving an inexperienced dev enough rope to hang himself with.

Totally agree with you on this one, it's the role of specialized platform teams + managers to make sure devs have the tools they need while also accounting for their skill level(s).
Not everyone has access to a specialized platform team or technical manager; very often it is a solo (or small group of) devs just trying to Get Stuff Done
That just can’t work for most companies.
