> They want programmers to become fungible "resources",

Capitalism is a graph search problem linking supply and demand. Don't imagine otherwise, for one second.

It's genuinely, EXTREMELY, easy to hire c++ programmers with knowledge of assembly. There's buckets lying around.

> industry does not want people to know too much of the foundations

Foundations of Engineering are:

Evolution of Useful Things: How Everyday Artifacts-From Forks and Pins to Paper Clips and Zippers-Came to Be as They Are.

Skunk Works: a Personal Memoir of My Years at Lockheed.

The Unwritten Laws of Engineering.

They're not the foundations of computer science.
