eh, I understand the sentiment - but it's a little overkill. Junior programmers can be code reviewed and taught these things over time, and also be wildly productive in a production setting.


Sure you can teach junior programmers all kinds of stuff that they should have already learned or should know how to learn, I do it all the time. I'm arguing that this is crucial information that even entry-level engineers should know. If they don't, then I give them a link to the relevant documentation and politely ask them to read it. It's a prerequisite.
