Exactly. I'm also seeing this trend among new grads/early career SWEs. AWS, MongoDB, and all sorts of cloud first product companies have been plugging their software to the university system, and these kids come out of college w/o understanding of the computing layer below these products. Like they don't know what a server is, what a data center is, how storage works. Is that not being taught in CS programs?
Ugh. I've been interviewing Ops/Sec candidates lately, and I'm genuinely confused every time an experienced candidate struggles with their chosen shell.

Not what CS is. (Although I did take a chip-level architecture and asm class, that's the closest it gets to hardware.) If you want a Network/Storage Engineer, hire one.
