I think everyone needs to know everything they do professionally from first principles. And if you are to build abstractions, they also need to be based on first principles in order to be easy to reason about. Sometimes I'm learning a framework, and I'm in the part of "...you write this easy syntax and it outputs pure HTML!", which is great. But then the next line you read "also, when you use [obscure symbol], it does [obscure thing] in order to respect [obscure concept]". You have no idea what to do other than start googling those 3 new things, none of which are explained properly or at all in the current "super simple framework" documentation. I think even naming should make sense.
