Unix sys admin, build & release, developer tooling, operations.

We use the Internet every day. I like folks to have an idea how it works, to be intellectually curious, and to be generally informed about the technology they use.

The traceroute man page explains how it works.

FWIW, my CS degree included a networking class.

fwiw, networking wasn't a required class at my school. neither was databases, weirdly, nor anything web-adjacent (no JS, no HTML or CSS.)

...huh. I'm realizing my CS department was pretty weak. but tbf I knew how traceroute worked by high school, so it didn't matter.
