No, they have not. Not any more than the rest of us. Not any more than any other profession.
I really think this whole thing is borne out of Code Camp graduates coming into the job market thinking all they needed was whatever minuscule collection of shell scripting incantations they learned in the Code Camp to get a "Zomg 6-figure++ salary". And if that is all the training you've had, I can easily see how it will feel like it is inadequate (because it is). But the answer is not "keep feeding the inadequate way of learning".
And it's certainly not replying to someone's thread in which they present their hard work with "uuuuugh, woe is meeee".
- zapzupnz 7y ago> No, they have not. Here's an idea: listen to how people feel rather than tell them how they feel. If people have felt the need to do something and so have done, that's as good as saying they needed to — if sufficiently done en masse. Whether that attitude was justified in the first place doesn't negate the fatigue they may now feel — a feeling they're more than entitled to, even with you saying they're not.
