Even university students studying computer science don't have this basic knowledge anymore.

It's a sample of 1, but we hired a young guy with a CS Master's degree. I told him in polite ways that he should not use ChatGPT and his code sucked. When he was told to fix something, he rewrote it completely with a new prompt instead of understanding bugs. He didn't last more than 2 months.
