Programmer Universalis

Just a short observation: it’s very good to be able to understand and even write everything from GUI down to machine language instructions or up. Certainly understanding how software works at every level is very helpful in memory dump analysis. Seeing thread stacks in memory dumps helps in understanding software. The more you know the better you are at dump analysis and debugging. Debugging is not about stepping through the code. This is a very narrow view of a specialist programmer. Programmer Universalis can do debugging at every possible level and therefore can write any possible software layer.
