As someone in the IT administrating department, i feel like the new wave of software engineers have a frighteningly low understanding of the system they’re developing on.
It appears as they are making plain code monkeys these days
Not the OP but been in IT for a while. The current generation entering the workforce have been using tech since birth but do not seem to understand or care how it actually works. They are generally poor troubleshooters and seem hesitant to ask for help. I figure pandemic lockdowns and remote learning made this worse.
Please don’t generalise us like this. I’m currently in second semester and working for my company, working on a codebase. I very much care for how my stuff works, and I also know a fair bit I think. I troubleshoot as a hobby and am passionate.

How is your impression on this?

Working as a software engineer developing for the IT team, I understand the system I’m developing on, but not the system I’m developing.
Jira customfields give me nightmares.
