Why are so many unstable people trying to become programmers?

Question

Career in IT

About 6-8 years ago, the main problem in hiring juniors was youthful maximalism, when candidates inadequately assessed their level of knowledge and salary expectations. Now the situation is similar.
Now it’s really becoming scary for me to interview juniors, since there really is a huge number of mentally unstable people with some kind of pens. And if you pay attention to the same toaster in the career section, there are often some inadequate questions.
Am I the only one who is so lucky, or are unstable people really starting to enter the industry?

Answer 1

"We are not like that - life is like this ..." Imagine a world where only show-offs and grandmothers are valued, where they say from TV screens that you are a golem, if you don’t buy this and that, that no one will give you, you can buy respect. "Be a man!", "Row the loot!" and other crap. Now imagine that a person from childhood absorbs all this slop and comes to get a job after reading 100,500 articles on how to be confident and conduct interviews.
Well, and also youthful maximalism, unhappy childhood, infantilism, children without fathers / mothers / parents, cockroaches in the head and so on.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Unstable people began to enter the industry?

No, it's just your experiences that paint a picture filled with "mentally unstable people with some kind of pens." In fact, no one needs a june who will chew snot for a penny and attribute all jambs with overdue deadlines to inexperience. We need a junior with increased responsibility - this is how the market dictates, this is how they adapt to it. Everything is fine.

Answer 4

It's time to calm down.

Answer 5

There was an article on Forbes about generation Z. Everything is about as you describe. The author's conclusions are as follows: a
generation of infantile egoists, they do not know how to work in a team, they want a lot, they do not know how to resolve conflicts, they throw tantrums.
Fight breaking through the knee and coercion to love corporate values ​​through material destimulation

Answer 6

apparent simplicity, excessive demand, blurred responsibility, as a result, the industry itself lures such people who, even at 40, can behave like children.
