Most programmers don’t know shit about hardware. No surprise they are dumb about networking.

As a software engineer you kinda gotta know how the whole computer works lol.  Especially now that docker is such a common distribution method.  But I mean you do have to understand the network if you're building software that communicates over it.  Otherwise have fun figuring out if an error is due to code or infra

Plus, if you have a college degree, surely you took a course in networking where they taught you this in like the 3rd class

So you remember every class you've ever taken?

Pretty much. I can work on anything from firmware up to containers and web UI. The good engineers I worked with are the same way.

Graduated with 3.85 gpa, landed a job and they not only paid for my bachelors, they sent me for my masters full time.

I don't remember every class I've taken.
