It took me by surprise too, but now when I give a training, I make sure I include how to:

- read a stack trace

- find things in the doc

- use the debugger

Most people, professional devs, signing up for my __advanced__, yes, specifically requested to be advanced, Python trainings, don't know how to do this.

Again, I try to be extremely nice about this, because nobody likes to feel inadequate and I'd rather have people learning happily this and improve their life and work.

It takes a lot of courage, if you are 40 and being in the field for 2 decades to admit you need to go back to this.

But it's not what I was expecting from the industry.

Hey, it makes me feel useful :)
