I'm IT and my cousin is software. I had to teach him basic computer maintenance...
I spent a weekend helping my buddy who graduated magna cum laude with an Electrical and Computer Engineering degree build a PC. Given a breadboard and some schematics, he could probably have created working prototypes of half of the components, but figuring out where to put the screw risers under the motherboard? Forget about it.
That's wild
RTFM? Nowadays it's a YouTube video away. Freaking legos.
I'm almost done with my CS degree, I started learning programming at age 10, low-level software development like drivers and embedded really interests me and that's the direction I want to go in for a career, but I had to ask my friend who was studying with me to help me build my PC. Hardware just scares me. I'm worried ill bork something :3
