You want to know who's fault this is? Yours, whoever wrote this article.
It constantly complains that modern teens barely touch anything underneath the surface in tech but ironically completely smears over any of the underlying issues.
Let's have a think...
Do any of the mainstream tech publications cover low level programming? No.
Are any low level computer skills taught in college or other mainstream programming courses? No.
Do big tech companies give a thought to the quality of their software as long they can foist it on people? No. (Although you could probably argue that that isn't a new phenomena)
Garbage in, garbage out. Someone failed to protect the tech industry and it isn't these teens' fault that real programming is completely obscured. The best chance they have is getting into retro games so they can stumble across David Murray or Clint Basinger or the like.
- vengefulduck 7y agoHate to break it to you, but I’m in college learning C and assembly right now, don’t know how much lower level you can get.
- ketzu 7y agoThe author of the article seems to be a teen themselves (cf. the first paragraph and usage of 'they' and 'we'). 'Mainstream tech pubs with low level programming?' Depends on what you count as low level programming. The tech publications I check out sure contain information about, for example, C and C++ developments.
- TeaDude 7y agoWhat publications would you recommend for C and C++? The previous "big one", Dobb's Journal was killed off circa 2014 (Although it was pretty much dead already by that point)
- ketzu 7y agoActually I don't follow any C/C++ special publications. But the mainstream journal I rarely read sometimes covers it. For info I usually watch CPPCon videos.
