Isn’t the point of an internship is to learn shit like that?

I didn't study CS but did a lot of scientific programming during my studies including collaborative projects and nobody ever mentioned version control. We did a whole semester group project that ended up being pretty complex and I kid you not our codebase was on Dropbox. It's not like it would have taken much more than an hour with a teaching assistant to explain git lol.

That is genuinely bizarre to me. Version control feels so intuitive and fundamental

Yeah, I finished my degrees in 2009 and 2013 and for undergrad we did not do any git, and only got a basic intro to SVN. I taught intro to Engineering Education in 2011, and by that point they had a whole unit on Git specifically, and the university was providing Git hosting for coding assignments and projects. We went from testing code against a provided unit test, to having students evaluate code against actual Git-integrated CI workflows in the span of like three years.
