This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Just for the hell of it, I'll be optimistic.
That implies that an old timer like myself (and many others in this lounge) don't have to worry about job security. Well, at least until the above-referenced cretins take over the management positions.

In this day and age where youth are programmed to have their thinking done for them, I do not find this surprising.
My experience as a lead tech for a service department says yes, there are other afflicted industries. The electronic technicians that are turned out these days are unable to troubleshoot effectively but they are good* at swapping parts until the device works.
*Good being far to generous a term to describe their skills as an electronic technician.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

That one kills me, when asked why they chose that part to replace, you get the deer-in-headlights look along with the crickets chirping sound. If you're 'lucky' you'll get the "well it worked before....on a different problem".

I call them Jimmy Kodes[^]. A few characteristics includes,
- They never wanted to be developers/programmers.
- They took a course about programming, by being impressed by Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page etc.
- Even if you give them code, they would come back and say, how to deploy it?
Finally, I have learnt that the solution to them is only to ignore them or at best, give them a RTFM look!

Yes, particularly the medical industry. Copy and paste this diagnosis on the patient, it saves money, gets the patient out the door, and who cares if they die, we saved the insurance companies a bundle.
