  1. Complete horseshit. The entire POINT of abstraction is to reuse solutions to solve even bigger problems. You can write a useful full stack app while being blissfully unaware of the OSI model OR pointers.

  2. The problem is that you can miss entire paradigm shifts because you don't want to learn the current 'fad'. Reskilling from near ground 0 vs absorbing along the way can create a self-perpetuating obsolescence cycle. Take java 8; that's not just an api, it's a fundamental shift in thinking. I've interviewed folks who clearly haven't learned much after java 5 and they are basically useless now. The trick is cherry picking things that will be helpful in the future, which is largely unknowable.
