In my experience, a lot of software dev degree paths basically don't even have relevant classes on hardware at all. Classes on hardware are all in IT Helpdesk and Network Admin degree paths whereas the software dev students are dumped straight into Visual Studio right off the bat with no relevant understanding of the underlying hardware or OS.

You don’t teach a farmer how an internal combustion engine works. Computers are tools to software engineers. What they need to know is how to operate them, not how to maintain them.

CS departments were doing poorly, but now they're putting out farmers? No wonder all these new graduates can't find a job.
