> demeaning to our craft This is exactly how I feel. Even having gone through a more practical IT education, most of the folks in my class were really really bad (and not very excited about programming besides). That combined with folks that do a little bootcamp and then end up doing some sort of frontend development is honestly just depressing. It's hard enough to help managers understand good vs bad engineering, I don't want to do it every day for the people I work with too. Especially not knowing that a large percentage of them will never get any better.
