> If you're building a web application, you're the delivery driver, not the mechanic.

That's a flawed analogy. Delivery drivers aren't responsible for configuring or providing maintenance on the packages they deliver.

However, this is drifting pretty far out of scope of the original discussion, which concerned learning strategies for aspiring developers.

While I think it's a good idea to have an understanding of the systems we build on top of, that's just my opinion. We'll have to agree to disagree.
