In my experience, a lot of software dev degree paths basically don't even have relevant classes on hardware at all. Classes on hardware are all in IT Helpdesk and Network Admin degree paths whereas the software dev students are dumped straight into Visual Studio right off the bat with no relevant understanding of the underlying hardware or OS.

My experience does not reflect yours. Computer Architecture, Discrete Math (logic gate math), and Operating System Concepts were all required classes in my CS degree from just a few years ago.

Honestly that's good to hear. I've run into some devs who are completely mystified on how to connect to a remote database and couldn't tell a socket from sandwich.

Can I have my socket with rye. I like rye.
