We’re back to “every developer must know” clickbait articles?
- igh4st 3y agoit seems so... Should take this article's statements with a grain of salt.
- mhh__ 3y agoAlthough I think they'll be replaced by ChatGPT a good article in that style is actually quite valuable. I like attacking complexity head on, and have a good knowledge of both quantitative methods & qualitative details of (say) computer hardware so having an article that can tell me the nitty gritty details of a field is appreciated. Take "What every programmer should know about memory" — should every programmer know? Perhaps not, but every good programmer should at least have an appreciation of how a computer actually works. This pays dividends everywhere — locality (the main idea that you should take away from that article) is fast, easy to follow, and usually a result of good code that fits a problem well.
