Yep - even as a youngin' I'm seeing this happen rapidly with tech being the new "hotness" that everyone wants to jump on career-wise. With 6mo bootcamps, Udemy, etc people think you can just jump RIGHT into the industry. And they're right - with the wrong interview panel it's easy for a near zero-experience person to get in the door because so many companies are focused on increasing engineer headcount vs focusing on the quality of their teams.
Honestly I've made a _lucrative_ career out of dealing with tech debt that other engineers/teams have left behind due to bludgeoning their way through the process with tools they've only used once.
