Sing it with me folks, "there is no such thing as the fundamentals". This is just gatekeeping nonsense. toot.cafe/@slightlyoff/1100177

Whatever is considered fundamental now will be considered a low level implementation detail 5 years from now. The things that are frameworks now will be the next fundamentals. It has happened a dozen times in my lifetime and it will keep happening. Learn what you need to get the job done and don't sweat the fundamentals.

@seldo In my experience, that's a fine attitude only for folks who are happy with limiting their potential.

There's a great deal of wisdom to be found in the lower level implementations that translates directly to the quality of work at the higher level.

Understanding how the fundamentals apply to the higher-level frameworks can be the difference between a worker bee and a trusted expert.
