That's the spirit! I don't understand why people get so defensive.
I have a BS and a master's degree in CS and I didn't know about MESI cache coherence. And I've never run into it in 7+ years of professional experience. But that doesn't mean it's a useless question. I don't feel compelled to learn all about it right now, but at least I'll get acquainted with the Wikipedia-level facts. One day I might study it further.

- michael_h 14y agoI have liked these questions, even if I think a few of them are a little narrow. It's certainly sparked a bit of motivation for me. However, the intro blog post is worded very poorly, which is what I'm assuming is causing a lot of the problems. It reads less as a call to personal improvement and more as a shaming/institutional snobbery - whether that was intended or not.
