I've come into contact with students at different levels of their university degree... between freshmen and junior (but almost senior) and I'm baffled by what I hear.

No concept of processes, no idea about any data structures, intimidated by everything. They've studied C/C#/Python in a class but can't remember anything about it. It's really a lack of passion and interest and it's endemic I think. People study CS because they've heard it pays well.

I fully expect these people to become my managers!

They have better social skills than the CS students of the 1990s, so this is a really good bet.
