Meh. Back in ye olde days, when developers were either self-taught from the roots or came from universities, they just knew that stuff from experience.

Nowadays, a lot of "developers" come from three months "coder bootcamps". They may even be reasonably proficient in whatever flavor of JS toolkit the camps teach at the moment, but they will have zero knowledge about what makes their computer tick.



The issue isn't unexperienced devs not knowing about stuff. The issue is whether devs with no experience are willing to learn new stuff or not. We all had zero experience at some point.
