That is indeed a fun fact!

I’m not sure if “skilled” is the word, but they get by

I actually learned the lemmings thing from the windows 95 era PC game “Lemmings”. This is also how I learned that lemmings have green hair!

I got my BS in CSci about 15 years ago and it was 100% about programming in java. We didn’t learn a fucking thing about hardware and my roommate was an EE major and we had none of the same classes except for calculus.

By the time I graduated java was basically dead. Thanks state college.
