I do believe there is value in understanding the fundamentals of how the computer executes code by learning C as it is a nice balance without going to the level of Assembly. I don’t think I would be as good of a programmer as I am today without having learnt C as my first language but the way the school teaches it is important.
That said, that’s in the context of a role of a software engineer with a CS degree, if you’re just a regular developer writing web apps or plan on only ever using frameworks then yea, you probably don’t need that kind of knowledge. Even then, I’d argue knowing these details would help you resolve issues with the framework if you ever encounter them.
It doesn’t necessarily mean you have to use C to make products but it certainly is useful to get a feel of how it works.
This looks great, I’ve been looking for a self-hostable replacement ever since gfycat was shut down. Gonna give it a shot.
