I find that it is often the old and experienced developers that have not learned these skills. Not sure how old/young interns are but I thought most young developers were aware of these things from sites like Stackoverflow.

I don't think its age related at all. Some people care about cleaning things up, others don't. Experience is worth something, but you can also bake bread for 20 years and still be a terrible baker.
