Do web devs NEED to understand low-level programming concepts? Chris doesn't think so...

[00:00] A lot of what the curriculum was trying [00:01] to do was get like too deep into the [00:03] weeds and I just wanted to do web dev. [00:06] And web dev isn't really a thing that [00:08] universities teach that much. Maybe they [00:09] do nowadays, but back then they were not [00:11] teaching it that much. And I didn't care [00:13] about bit shifting. I didn't care about [00:15] bit masking and like all the the you [00:17] know, CPU registers. I don't care. I I [00:19] think that might be another one of my [00:21] spicy takes that you were asking about. [00:23] Like I really don't think web devs need [00:24] to care about CPU registers. You should [00:26] maybe understand caching and some of [00:28] these things, but in the majority of [00:30] what you're doing, you don't have to [00:32] care about how you know, the [00:34] just-in-time compiler works in [00:35] JavaScript. You can just accept the fact [00:37] that it's going to do its job. Not [00:38] saying people shouldn't do that. If [00:40] you're like passionate and you really [00:41] want to like get that low level and do [00:43] it, absolutely. But I just know for me, [00:45] I'm [00:46] I'm kind of like an ideas guy that knew [00:48] I couldn't ever afford to pay people to [00:50] build the software they want. So I just [00:51] started learning how to do it for [00:53] myself.
