The original complaint is that student aren't even getting the 4 month introduction to topics like databases and concurrency. Later on in their career they wander into them and don't even realise there exists large body of important theory and knowledge for things like databases and data modelling. They get then get into trouble and assume "Well, I guess programming is just hard". Similar story for concurrency. These people later on naively create systems which are full of concurrency problems and are then puzzled as to why sometimes it breaks for no clear reason.
