Do we really need a video about this in 2024? Shouldn't this be already a core part of our education as software engineers?

I'm not sure what point you tried to make.

Even if you believe some concept should be a core part of the education of every single software engineer who ever lived, I'm yet to meet a single engineer who had an encyclopedic knowledge of each and every single topic covered as a core part of their education. In fact, every single engineer I ever met only retained a small subset of their whole curriculum.

So exactly what is your expectation?

My expectation is that this is something core that programmers should be aware of all the time. Forgetting about this is like forgetting what an interface is. It's at the core of what we do. At least I think so, maybe I'm wrong assuming this is something every programmer should be aware of all the time.

Well the like article has a date in 2013 at the top.

Shouldn't it? Yes, just like the ability to unit test, but that doesn't stop schools from skipping over them either.
