How far down the rabbithole does this go?
I have never programmed iOS, but I'm completely positive I could program for iOS.
10 years of occasional programming, from python, to school projects, to database development, to android apps, to full stack react-native development.
I'm confident that I can build an iOS app.
Programming and understanding how computers handle inputs are tools. But programming is more mindset than anything. The only benefits of knowing the specific language or framework would be skipping the 1 month of learning syntax.
I'm a recreational programmer mostly, but at some point, you realize you can do full-stack and you realize that everything is possible with google and stack overflow.
