I'm not sure I agree that you need low level programming knowledge and experience. The industry is huge, and there's needs for a lot of talent with a variety of skills.
If anything, I would argue that the need for the low level languages is disappearing for the general case. As "The Cloud" gets bigger and bigger, and the low level things are handled more and more by a service providers, and they abstract more and more of the day to day, it makes it easier for you to focus on higher level problems.
I do think that the days of being purely ops and needing nothing but shell scripting are going away though. You gotta pick up some python or similar at this point.
- dijit 11y agoI did mean python when I said scripting, but I don't know all it's symantics and internals. this is mostly due to a lack of experience, I guess it's time to really sit down and try to craft some larger projects.
