I understand the situations you are describing and I still have the impression that the main problem behind this is inadequate leadership (and probably at several layers...).

There are more than enough Real Programmers or lacking soft eng who are not experienced or knowledgeable enough to know when to use C/python/go/sql/etc but again for me the problem is either whover hired them and whoever is managing them.

I also more than agree with the last sentence.

I agree that the main problem is leadership — and arguably mentorship as well. As a field we're too predisposed to view all problems as technical and ignore the social factors which lead to the visible technical symptoms.
