beleg31406yI guess you mean those who stuck to the TCP/IP and doesn't know about OSI, let alone those who got no idea about the architecture at all, right?
-
Wombat102446yI checked the osi-model on Wikipedia and cannot think of use cases where this knowledge is of help in web development.
-
agusarias896yThe worst devs to work with are those who learn a new concept and feel superior over the ones who doesn't know it, instead of sharing the knowledge
-
shaji12486yAlso those who don't know how to make their verbs agree with their subjects in person and number
-
Condor323326yBut that knowledge is what makes us sysadmins, right? I don't think that devs should really know much more about the networking stack than how to do something like adding a TCP socket.. unless they also manage a server of course.. in which case, learn it already!
-
I don't think devs need to know about it but devs need to expand knowledge and most of all, not be arrogant and think from their point of view. I mean I'm sure Linux said this cuz of dealing with devs who think they know it all and therefore blaming the system for not having their code work when the problem is their code.
Just my two cents :) -
Every dev should know about this because both integration testing and troubleshooting work best bottom-up along the layers.
-
@ArcaneEye I recall learning that mnemonic from Cybrary! Do you happen to follow their courses as well? :D
-
kjdion843086yWhy do all devs need to know sysadmin knowledge? That's like saying you're shit at server management if you can't code JavaScript.

@dangerzone If your job somehow relates to networking, you should know. If you even use networks on a professional level, you should know a little bit of how it all works. Some devs even need to engineer the network stuff.
The worst devs to deal with is the devs who does not understand or know about the OSI-model
