I now supervise 3 young (<25yr) students on different numerical projects, from master to PhD, we exchange and discuss codes daily.
It is quite striking that these new "native digital" (term allowed for people born in ~2000?) actually have HUGE gaps, and it's not their fault (neither is mine).
Examples:
- "it doesn't work" - with 0 attached error message, plot, information.
- assuming a .exe compiled on a machine would just work elsewhere (like an app?).
