- TillE 10y agoThere are a million things that a person writing a boring CRUD web app doesn't need to know. But if you want to be a good programmer, you should probably understand how a computer works.

The world is not comprised only of CRUD and situations where that kind of perf matters. But I do agree that even if you don't have to worry about cache latency for every single thing you write, it is something you should know about.
