@janriemer @vertigo @juliobiason I think it's nice to have a feel for how lower abstractions work, in the way that it's nice for a painter to know some chemistry, but I think there's no need really.. I think the real problem is that programming languages need to be radically better, with better programming user interfaces, and taught in more meaningful ways. I'm not sure obsessing over assembly, basic and the good old days, or paying attention to techbros like dhh, will get us there
