Stories like this remind me what a harsh reality college was. People like that knew college was worthless and were just attending to pass the time and get their degree. They came with the skillset to get a job from day one out of high school. Basically these types of kids can join a team, and be completely self sufficient within days, taking complete ownership of everything they touch.

I've had the privilege to work with 1 of these kids and it's amazing to watch. You give them little and they do a lot. I didn't read the article but my issue with some new gen ppl is those who make it without any struggles, say, they graduate and immediately get a job, they get really arrogant and refuse guidance or feedback. They write shit code that never looks at the bigger picture and get upset if they don't get praised.

Trump messing with H1-B visas really helped raise wages and mobility IMO.
