    Well that’s not great.

    I admit, as an IT grease monkey myself, stuff like this about the incoming generation of coders usually foretells that support will need to work harder.

    I know not all coders are like this, I’ve met a lot of very competent and capable coders, but if the younger generation that’s graduating into development know very little about the platform, it tells me that college’s are not doing the whole job, and there’s going to be a lot of underskilled developers getting into making production code very soon and likely on an ongoing basis… Which just means the IT support folk, whether sysadmin, network admin, or otherwise, will need to do a lot of work forklifting their skills up to par any time someone goes from college into the workforce.

    Not great stuff.
