I think your points are good. Another point I would add is abstraction is a tool for managing complexity, not a tool for reducing knowledge.

You will have issues in that library/network/function/language. Learn to be comfortable peeling away the abstraction when you need to.

That is very true, and is the reason I was trying to find for lower-level, machine architecture and OS fundamentals.

Thanks!
