It seems that every day on HN there is some post offering something "every programmer needs to know", yet the post is actually some very in-depth dive into the minutiae of the author's pet subject.
The other day there was some post on front end/client side programming with a crazy amount of things everyone needs to know. Now apparently we also have to know the characteristics of the charging/discharging of capacitors in memory.
All in all, this is WAY too in depth too have the title it has. The only way you have to know all this stuff as a software engineer is if you are working on the lowest level of something like an OS kernel or a video game engine.
