I now supervise 3 young (<25yr) students on different numerical projects, from master to PhD, we exchange and discuss codes daily.

It is quite striking that these new "native digital" (term allowed for people born in ~2000?) actually have HUGE gaps, and it's not their fault (neither is mine).

Examples:

• "it doesn't work" - with 0 attached error message, plot, information.

• assuming a .exe compiled on a machine would just work elsewhere (like an app?).
