I used to know quite a bit of that stuff, had a series of jobs doing it. I gradually moved from C89 to modern c++ over the course of about 25 years. Easy stuff, when you use it daily. But when it's not my job to do server admin, that stuff evolves too fast to stay on top of. For me it's not a high horse, rather, a wagon that I fell off a long time ago
