He can be tenured all over the place but it doesn’t make his statements true. I think this is too charitable. I think he is clearly trying to make a very sloppy point that “99%” of programmers know nothing about hardware and are just making web apps or something to that effect. I think it’s too charitable to suggest his statement there is some ultra expertise bar he is clawing at. He’s not talking about quantum physics or anything like that; I am sure he is trying to convey that 99% of programmers don’t know surface things like branch prediction or what a super scalar pipeline is. He’s not talking about the intricacies if Sandy Brudge or anything like that. And, he’s wrong. He’s just trying to make a hand-wavy point abs relies on his pedigree to be taken seriously.
