If you are objecting to "every," then sure, not every programmer needs to know anything about memory. You can program without knowing that there is such a thing.
But it's a fun title, and an excellent resource.
- oarabbus_ 8y agoNo, he's right. It's more than simply semantics. A better title would be "an extremely overwhelming of programmers don't need to know THIS much about memory"
- netmonk 8y agoThis is what people says when they have a dataset of 100 entries(<100mb) on their developpment laptop. How funny they look when production guys show them how their lame piece of code doesn't scale up with billion of entries in the production platform...But they dont care cause they are developpers, (or so called). Until the production guy rewrite their code and have them fired for incompetence (true story).

Why were they hired? > (true story). And that production guy's name was Albert Einstein.
- abraae 8y agoOr perhaps some more positive phrasings: - If you know this much about memory, you'll know more than 99% of programmers. - What 99% of programmers don't know about memory.
- dewhelmed 8y agoThe second one reads like a Buzzfeed article... > What 99% of programmers don't know about memory... number 17 will shock you!
