I know this is just a meme but school is an excellent way to have a foundational understanding of how things work, and learning to problem solve including googling.

Yeah! Kids these days are learning (in school) all about containers, service discovery, AWS, production deployment strategies, password vaulting solutions, cryptographic key/password management, and most importantly: politically defensive email practices.
Oh wait: No they aren’t, LOL.
I just interviewed dozens of fresh (CS) college grads a few months ago and only one of them even knew what SSH was let alone anything remotely resembling basic command line stuff, Linux skills, or any of the above mentioned things.
They sure could write a mean linked list though! 😁

This is why more places need to split software engineering into it’s own thing, apart from cs.
Never had an intern worry about sorting algorithms, but if I could get one who knew how to use git and write tests, we’re off to the races.
