I think there are very few if any people who understand computers from the transistor all the way to front-end JavaScript frameworks. At least not deeply and not without major gaps.

I mean, plenty of people use higher end coding languages to customize the tools they use to make advanced chipsets.

And, I'm sorry, but JavaScript isn't that hard to understand - intentionally so. It's one of the first languages you can learn in grade school.

I doubt anyone could go end-to-end on hardware manufacturing. But that's more an issue of parts miniaturization. People build working computer kernels in Minecraft using torches and switches.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
