People that never go low level usually don't feel it in their guts how computers work. Which is OK most of the time, but it bites you back often enough that it's annoying having to explain the actual fundamentals when your colleagues haven't had that experience
- kaba0 4y agoC programmers usually don’t feel it in their guts either how computers work. The amount of code transformations modern compilers do to make C performant is really mind-boggling. Though to add a more relevant point, I read a great saying on HN that a good developer knows their stack. A great one knows a layer beneath as well. (I usually butcher up quotes, sorry. It may have been more layers actually)
