Competent interns and other skilled juniors are usually good programmers but lack all the business acumen to be good engineers. This can’t really be taught in a curriculum, because it’s something that needs to be internalized by practice.

Kind of disagree, I haven't really needed to learn much about business other than what I picked up in a couple of business papers at uni, there just isn't much to learn about business systems as far as building software is concerned.
Any good degree should be covering all the software lifecycle stuff and general information systems as a concept.
I guess there are definitely people out there that have no interest in the business side of things but I think theyre outliers.
But now that I think about it maybe I'm wrong, I know a lot of business product people and even other developers just assume I don't know anything about business. At least that's what's happened now working for an American company. Working for Aussie companies it's just assumed that were sort of business analysts as well.
