It is a clear sign that the person never had any genuine interest in computing, since that would have led to learning how a CPU works (it's the most important part of a computer!) and thus its instruction set, which would have of course led to learning about binary operators and shift operators.
Instead the person clearly was motivated only by some specific application of computing or by making money.
- yusefnapora 5y agoTo me this reads like someone arguing that a champion race car driver must never have had a genuine interest in automobiles if they've never rebuilt an engine.
- dwaltrip 5y agoTalk about gate keeping… You don’t get to decree what genuine interest in computing looks like for all of humanity.
- snailysnooze 5y agoEveryone thinks their work/what they know is important, that's it. Why don't study electrical engineering while we're at it. Even better, go even deeper and get us all some physics There's a reason Randall Munroe draw that butterflies xkcd comics.
- foxes 5y agoClearly you do not have a genuine interesting in computing because you do not have a complete theory of everything, unifying gravity and all the fundamental forces, so really you have no idea how computation even happens at a fundamental level. Stop gatekeeping there’s going to be someone smarter than you. People work at different levels. The logic of how a huge program works can be abstracted above bit shifting. It is still computation. Maybe try be more understanding.
