"...and to my sweet sweet google search skills." Best skill ever.

I also very much agree: learn the basics, know the basics, understand the basics. Everything else after that is syntax sugar.

It bothers me many developers from Java, to C#, to JS, to Golang lack to the fundamental understand to TCP/IP or that an HTTP response is one string that is parsed and processed by the browser, which is an over glorified word processor if you think about it.

But as technology advances it also needs specialized workers to understand the idioms and nuances of specific tech. Just...don't pigeonhole yourself before you even begin.

I look forward to more of your writing Gabriel.
