The first time I (gen z) had a run in with low-level tech was getting a Pi Pico and an ESP32 to talk to each other over the serial protocol. It's probably the only time I've had to get that down and dirty with a protocol. Writing messaging bots for modern apps are definitely fairly easy but it's unlikely you'd ever get that deep into the protocols of it all (probably something like json/graphql over http(s)).
