This was all dev 101 when I was coming up (yikes, almost 20 years ago now).



Yeah, I wish it were common knowledge...although, if you ask 10 different devs, you'll get 10 different answers on what "ought" to be included in a basic CS / developer education.

(You don't know the minutiae of pointer arithmetic!? You're not familiar with Docker, Vagrant, or AWS Lambda!? You can't construct a sed / awk one-liner with your eyes taped shut!? You don't know about concurrent skip lists!? You've never completed SICP or read Purely Functional Data Structures!? And so on.)
