None of them. Study Knuth. Study the Intel manuals. Study “The Art of Multiprocessor Programming”. Study compilers. Study TCP/IP. Study algorithms and data structures. Write lots of code for all of those things.

Disregard the noise. Ban yourself from reading blogs and magazines and tech news. Focus on what is fundamental to the field. Look where nobody else is looking.

I don't know about this. It seems that there is more demand for high level work than low level. But I hope you are right!

I'm always amazed by the information that can be had in the comments section on this site.

Agreed, many HN posts discussing articles/posts from the aforementioned sites have comments that give more insight than TFA and maybe even corrections. Which you would not get by reading the articles/posts alone.

I frequently find myself spending as much or more time reading the HN comment section than reading the submitted article/link itself.

If I did I wouldn't have seen their comment and given that perspective consideration. It's almost like...a reasonable balance is the best path. lol

"Communications of the ACM" ( https://cacm.acm.org/ ) is a great source for a variety of topics. It recently went digital-only and is included in an ACM membership.

https://www.acm.org/publications/openaccess

> ACM will become fully Open Access by the end of 2025, but we have already begun that process in phases and large parts of the ACM Digital Library are already Open Access today, including the first 50 years of ACM's archive - all articles published between 1951 and 2000 have been placed in front of the ACM Digital Library subscription paywall.
