You can actually see this with new frontend devs.
They know only full SPA frameworks, they have never seen a dump of an HTTP message, headers and verbs are abstract things to them. Hell, many of them don't know you can have fully functional websites with zero JS, including payment, video, login, etc.
I started to write an HTMX tutorial (https://www.bitecode.dev/p/a-little-taste-of-htmx-part-1) because I noticed a lot of young coders don't understand what to do with it. They read the tweets saying it's nice, but when they look at it, it makes no sense to them.
It's really fun because I now remember how some senior coders looked at me, knowing nothing about compilation. I was struggling with Python packaging because before wheels, it required compiling a lot on linux, and it failed often. For them it was obvious: just install the headers, look you need the dev packages, wait, you don't have gcc?
Nowadays I happily patch nginx source code and compile it manually, but it took a lot of work to learn a minuscule chunk of what all those guys knew by heart.
Because they started with assembly.
