Am I just grumpy, or have all the abstractions reduced intellectual curiosity?

  • It seems like, based on my own experience and /r/cscareerquestions, that many devs have little to no understanding of hardware, or even low-level software. My favorite example of this is a NodeJS issue, where someone correctly pointed out that containers don't accurately report their available memory, and the implemented fix was to change from using sysinfo to parsing /proc/meminfo, which of course doesn't fix anything at all. I've seen this same scenario play out at my work, usually for CPU count - it's apparently not common knowledge how cgroups work. OK, fine, you don't use Linux regularly, but surely you can Google and figure this out. No?
