Quite many programmers I met are practical programmers these days. They just know they do something and "BOOM" or "BAM" and it works. Funny thing is, they may say it to the CEO or CTO and they like it too -- maybe to accomplish something by a "BAM" sounds quick and has low cost. They may not know how it worked, why it worked, and sometimes they push to the servers, even without testing, and crashed the servers for 2 hours and affected half a million people. And then they say it is because somebody else wrote some other code else where that confused him -- it wasn't his fault.

High tech companies are not like before... it could be a candy and soft drink and potato chip delivery service and now it is a high tech company. It can be a "deliver your lunch that cost them $2 to make and sell to you for $12" and now it is a high tech company... the engineers inside the company vary greatly. Some of them see themselves as ninja and they are proud. Some play video game with the CTO and the CTO like them and they are proud. Some see themselves as pirates and they are proud.

I agree on 100%. And I sad because beginners become the same.

I think the problem is that people achieve success (well salary) and don't want to develop. They choose highly specialization and so think blockchain / react / go / developers get more money. But they don't think that they are just developers that can work as a blockchain / react / go developer.
