Nonsense. If you are a front-end developer you must know how a browser works. Period. No ifs, no buts. And it's interesting to see how opponents always bring up age and pretend it's an argument.https://twitter.com/chriseppstein/status/963843049812971522 …

Ugh. This thread is both right and wrong on both sides. Abstractions of any kind always lower the bar to entry, which is generally a good thing, but can often hide aspects of a subsystem. We pack importing css eases adoption at the risk of hiding implementation /1

Rather than spouting “if you don’t know X, get out of my club” is not a helpful retort. A more helpful line of questioning is “are we abstracting too much and not teaching the fundamentals enough”? Anyone can pick up a hammer, and a screw looks a lot like a nail /2

But rather than berating someone for trying to hammer in a screw, perhaps suggest to that person that they might like to try a screwdriver. There was probably a time you didn’t know about console.log() and used alert() for debugging, then you learned, and grew as a developer.
