Anecdotally I had a ton of trouble getting engineering students to navigate through their filesystems and select files to compress them. I wouldn’t quite say they didn’t know what files were, but they had a lot of trouble with the ideas like: you need to point your IDE at the file you want to edit (so, if you save-as in various locations, only the last one will actually reflect your last round of changes). VSCode can also read from files which are inside a zip, but can’t write to them, which… seems obvious but I 100% get why somebody who is seeing zipped files for the first time would find it confusing. I wouldn’t say it was as straightforward as the story of “hopeless engineering students” would have you believe, but there were some puzzles. Most of them knew enough to get into weird situations, which got me lots of headaches… but, breaking your computer is the first step to learning how it works, so shrug.
