This was another good episode, but I always get frustrated with the weird ontology of self-perceived low-level programmers who think the only "real" thing is assembly language as written in the 80s and distainfully dismiss high-level programming concepts as mere "abstractions"https://twitter.com/adamgordonbell/status/1366373423832838149 …

The situation is especially difficult because some second-class concepts can safely be used in some circumstances, and not in others, but most programmers today don't have the knowledge necessary to correctly make that decision.

So the primary thing people like me are arguing for is that people need to learn things like assembly language, not because they need to write code in it, but because if they don't understand it, they don't really understand the high-level code either. They just think they do.
