Why do "developers" seem to not know anything about computing beyond programming?
OK, some of the most literate of them might know things about Unicode, EOF, or the difference between a plain text and binary file.
But most of them seem to be also unable to change the settings of their OS, or even installing an OS of their own. They prefer to be Mac babies instead of Linux power users, and I'm pretty sure that development is much easier on the latter.
So, can anybody explain this discrepancy?

Because supplanting your personality with a brand is the path of least resistance for the intellectually lazy?

overspecialization is a curse and it is going to be the kerkoporta for the fall of this culture.

I can explain it OP and, if you've ever browsed Any Forums you should be able to explain it too. If you need a hint I'll give you one: "leet code".
No? OK, allow me to explain. If you're like me, a millennial or genX chad, then you're a real developer. We learned to program because we enjoyed it. We learned to program to take our already existing computer hobby to the next level. We didn't learn to program for monetary gain, that was just a nice bonus.
But are young people different? YES. You see this all the time if you browse Any Forums. Remember how we learned to program user? Remember coming up with idea after idea for various side projects? remember writing cheats for games, website scrapers, automating your own daily tasks, writing irc bots, etc? Zoomer SCUM can't even CONCEPTUALIZE personal/side/hobby projects.
EVERY day you see zoomers saying "how do I practice x" instead of just working on passion projects. And why can't disgusting, subhuman, zoomer scum, conceptualize programming for fun? Because they don't.
Zoomers learn to program because someone, tv, youtube, some careers counselor has told them "it's a great way to make MONEY" and so the subhuman zoomer wants to force themselves to learn something to make them rich. Learn something to save them from mcdonalds wagery
But without the passion, without the hobby, without coding for the love of computers the zoomer is lost. The only thing they have is fucking "leetcode" as a way of "drilling" programming because the idea of programming things that are useful or programing for fun is completely alien to them. They think programming is something you learn by doing drills rather than by enjoying it
Your modern young wannabe is no different than someone who thinks they can learn piano from playing scales for a few hours a day but has no interest in composing/performing music and doesn't even listen to music when away from the piano.
>tl;dr modern "programmers" are just mcdonalds fry cooks with extra steps.

but what if I am a zoomer and I want to program both for fun AND to make dosh

IT drones and underbudgeted support departments get underpaid to handle all of that so they don't care.
