The modern programming movements, especially web development, have created many developers who can do (for example) some HTML, some CSS, a little bit of {Rails | Django | PHP}, a little bit of {Angular | JQuery | Ember.js }, etc. but are very uncomfortable with concepts/tools that a lot of hackers take for granted (using a command line being one example).
Not saying it's a good thing or a bad thing, just how it is (especially with things like programming bootcamps and associate degrees focused on quick web development). Some of us have been swimming in Linux and obscure hacker culture for decades, and we forget that maybe one doesn't need the huge entire body of knowledge we have to be productive employees in a certain capacity?

- hippee-lee 13y ago> Not saying it's a good thing or a bad thing The tools we use are neither good nor bad. How well we use them, what we use them for and how we teach others to use them are what makes the good or bad. I love the way you make this conversation good with a pragmatic point of view and an opinionated but reasonable voice. Thank you.
