> Do computer science curricula not include enough historical perspective?

Anecdotally speaking, the average web developer does not have any formal computer science education. Most are self taught or attend a bootcamp or two at most. They have excellent vocational skills, but little knowledge of anything in computing outside of their narrow path of learning.

Oh man, this is so true. An acquaintance of mine who had recently graduated a bootcamp was crowing about how much he knows. I asked him for the big-O performance of adding an item to a linked list. He looked at me like I was speaking Martian.

And a lot of times, these are the people writing confidently on the internet about web development. Problem with programming is most of the people in the community are amateurs and they communicate via the internet. And on the internet, no one knows you are dumb.
