I worked for several years in IT fields from help desk to sysadmin. I’m now a Sr. Software Engineer.
I somewhat disagree. With containerization like Docker our system is pretty simple. However, there are lot more bootcamp developers that learned to code in 12 weeks which are going to know a lot less than those with a Bachelors or higher in the field.
It all comes down to passion. If they love the subject then they’ll dig through the weeds to uncover the dirt. If they’re not, then it doesn’t matter what education they have, they’ll only know what they’ve been directly taught. The number of engineers I’ve interviewed who have masters degrees and barely understand the stack they work in is shocking.
