    I think we (as an industry) need to be honest to ourselves and admit that pretty much everything we’re building is temporary. And not in a philosophical sense. 90% of the code I wrote in my about 10 years of professional work is probably gone by now - sometimes replaced by myself. In another ten years, chances are not a single line of code will have survived.

    There’s a really annoying subgroup of developers who are convinced that typing itself magically produces good code and the only bottleneck in their productivity is how fast they can smash keys.

    These are the ones who are hellbent on not using anything graphical, a mouse or any tool they deem too advanced.

    It’s super annoying, especially since they often spend more time “optimizing” their setup than actually working, and even more time talking about how efficient they are.

    More than a surface level understanding is not necessary. The level of detail in the meme is sufficient for 99,9% of jobs.

    No, that’s not all just accounting, it’s pretty much everyone who isn’t working on very low level libraries.

    What in turn is important for all sorts of things is knowing how irrelevant most things are for most cases. Bit level is not important, if you’re operating 20 layers above it, just as business logic details are not important if you’re optimizing a general math library.
