I would agree with you most of the time. However I've found that because most of the people I work with have never learned a programming language that forces you to understand the hardware, they just don't understand some problems. Passing by reference and passing by value, for instance. Unless you've used pointers before, you don't get what's going on.

However - I do fail to see why a web developer finds soldering "enlightening" - that's a little too far removed!
