To be fair, I work with a large number of formally trained engineers who commit far worse in terms of anti-pattern and data hygiene infractions on the regular and I’ve had the fortune of refactoring their messes. I don’t think it’s solely dependent on having afforded formal training. Knowing enough to know that you might not know and just might need to measure or look something up and caring enough to do so is more of the core of it.
