- markus_zhang 6y agoI think it's the way it teaches you to build things from ground-up and forces you to understand the principles. I'm reading CSAPP 3rd chapter and it gives me the same feeling.
- bitwize 6y agoThat's exactly why 6.001 was dropped. There is no building from the ground up anymore; virtually all software development is modifying or extending something that already exists to fit some application.
- markus_zhang 6y agoI guess it's reasonable, but as a hobbyist I have the advantage to ignore such constraints (to seek a job), and such courses/books do seem to be attractive.
