This is the "problem" today that I see in the classroom (I used to teach CS until recently)... learners today do not want to dedicate the time it takes to truly understand. Not all of them, but a LOT of them have the opinion that they just need to get through this damn algorithms class, get the damn piece of paper (diploma) so they can go out and start a job doing "real" programming.

Those students, they do not get FAANG jobs, or make big money. The few that want to understand are much more like the articles description, and they end up five years on far ahead of their peers at work.

Just my $0.02.
