I guess I don’t really understand what a socket is? It’s a magic thingy that allows two computers/processes to communicate and sometimes has trouble with NAT.
I know how to use it certainly, but how the hell it is implemented is more or less black magic to me.
Now that’s not to say I couldn’t learn how a socket works. It’s just never been at all relevant to performing my job.

Yes, but you should at least know some basic troubleshooting skills like running netstat to see a socket in syn sent or whatever to get an idea if there is a network connectivity issue to your endpoint.
