- working at a higher level of abstraction has always required understanding the lower level ones, I don't think coding agents changes this
it doesn't "require" it. most programmers today don't know assembly, cpu instruction sets or machine code at all it simply enhances one's ability to operate at the higher level abstraction more effectively
but do you have any suggestions how juniors can learn the lower level ones while agents do the work?
