Woah, who are you interacting with that not knowing SQL is rare?

In my experience, nearly no one knows SQL, and the attitude seems to be that learning it at all is a waste of mental bandwidth.

On the other hand, I wonder if knowing none at all is better than knowing a little.

Wow, I've never met a developer that didn't know SQL.

Even 1 year "learn programming fast" courses here in Uruguay have at least the basics. OTOH, Javascript is not taught in many courses so YMMV...

I expect that everybody with a degree knows SQL and I'm realizing that I could be wrong. Maybe sometimes I'm the only one in the room that knows it. I'll check it next time I'm at a technical event leaning on the backend side.

I haven't written very much SQL in my career, there is quite a lot of development that doesn't use it.
