By "lots" I estimate about 40 percent of the software developer workforce. (Not a scientific estimate.)

No, the opposite. These developers learn the relevant buzzwords and can string them together convincingly, but fail to actually understand what they're regurgitating. (Very similar to an LLM, actually.)

E.g., these people will throw words like "Dunder method" around with great confidence, but then will completely melt down for fifteen minutes if a function argument has the same name as a module.

When on the job these people just copy-paste existing code from the "serious company" monorepo all day, every day. They call it "teamwork".
