I think it’s time we started teaching technology like we teach biology. Starting with recognizing and classifying common species of tech, dissecting a few specimens, looking through microscope at some stuff, teaching design in an evolutionary-history way, old tech = dinosaurs...

A lot more hand on stuff would have been great. Plenty of the species of math i was taught back in uni made no sense at the time. It wasn't until latter practical exploration and need that i found how most of them actually connected to reality.

Yeah same here except I never got around to practical for 90% of it

The more artificially complex our environment becomes, the more important is the ability of reduction to first principles.

I actually think first principles are overrated and do more harm than good if overemphasized. “Middle principles” of engineering are where much of the intelligence and wisdom are to be found.

I feel very fortunate to have adopted each advancement in the web dev stack as they were coming out. It was really a great help to start out with HTML when that's all we needed, learn CSS/RWD as that became a thing, NodeJS, etc.

Front-end dev and particularly the JS ecosystem is such a rats nest these days, I can't imagine trying to navigate it without the kind of gradual foundations I've been able to lay over the years.
