Others have written but I wanted to echo that this isn’t a talent gap as much as a training or skill gap. Somebody who is talented at programming understands the process and shows aptitude for things like debugging, design, task decomposition, etc. Somebody with a skill such as “I know x” might know the current api for x but might have no real talent for programming. $(programming god) might not know squat about, say, JavaScript but you can’t say they lack talent. Merely that you’re not giving them the time or reason to learn JavaScript. Yeah, I’m being pedantic, but phrasing the problem incorrectly obscures the solution. Uni isn’t trade school, and training should be considered post employment.
