I do agree with the spirit of this though. There's a big difference between "click a button in your IDE" to compile and learning about all the code-ish things that go into a real software project:

* choosing a build system (and package system too, I guess?)

* setting up CI

* static analysis

* setting up CD

* config-as-code for managing the state of prod

* staging environments?

* production monitoring

* production alerting
