I think you’re right, I should have separated it in two parts. First is learning low-level “how it works, exactly” — that is useful. Second is writing actual low-level code — that I’d advise myself against.

So, I guess:

- Learn how sockets, filesystems and processes work, read apue, learn how jits/compilers work. But don’t write serious C, that’s a waste of time even if you’re smart enough.
