> yes you should have some basic understanding of how syscalls works, what a kernel is and what it's job is etc.

If we're talking about experienced developers then sure, at some point people should learn that stuff. But as a beginner it's impossible to understand everything at once; start at the highest level, the level you're actually going to be working at most of the time. There'll be time to peek behind the curtain and learn the details of what's going on at lower levels later - and good programmers absolutely should do this. But I don't think people should start off without frameworks any more than they should start off in assembly.

If that's what counts then my first job title was Java Developer :P
