You could summarize this article by saying that students don't know a whole bunch of things yet, which is kind of the point right? They're students! Of course they don't know how to use all the tools in the toolbox. I would agree with the author in the sense that there should be a class or segment of the class that tackles how software engineers leverage their environment and use common tools. But, the way I understand it, that sort of thing is common in formal curriculum, it just doesn't cover everything. I wonder if this concern the author has brought up represents a perspective trap of having a significant level of lived experience. It's probably anxiety-inducing to think of someone leaving your class and not knowing 100% of the things a software engineer needs to succeed. But, really, if we think back to how we all were as students all those years ago, we were probably in the same boat. For example, personally, I didn't know how to use source control until I entered the industry. I learned git on the fly because an employer needed me to. Multiply that same story a few hundred/thousand times that you've got an experienced practitioner.
