If you don't know how to write an OS in Fortran with 4KB of RAM, you're not a real programmer.
Joke aside, I think the real problem is: development gets more and more complex because the systems we build get more and more complex. Follows a truck of tools we should know because they're on these nonsensical job offers, random technical tests to be sure you're a 10x developer (whatever it means), and others subjective mess which are never about empirical data. It's hell, especially for beginners.
The only thing we should ask to developers: the will to explore the problem space and iterate on solutions to find the simplest ones. The rest is details.
On the positive side: the field is young and we build it, so we should all write this type of article, to move the industry in the good path.
