Nonsense. What happened to abstraction?
They leak. Not that all of this information is necessarily required for all programmers, but when dealing with a leaky abstraction it is nice to know what's leaking through and why it is so.
- pacemkr 16y agoThat would be one serious leak if a programmer had to even be aware of the difference between SRAM and DRAM, yet alone of their respective schematics. It just doesn't happen. When it does, it isn't a leaky abstraction, it's broken to the core, and knowing these surface level details about electronics wouldn't be enough to fix the problem.
