if you've been working in computing for > 15 years -- are there fundamentals that you learned "on the job" 15 years ago that you think most people aren't learning on the job today?
(I'm thinking about how for example nobody has ever paid me to write C code)

I'm especially interested in topics that are still relevant today (like C programming) but are just harder to pick up at work now than they used to be
(the reason I'm asking is that I think that there are some fundamentals that are really hard to learn today, and I think it might be because we work with more abstractions in our jobs so it's harder to see the fundamentals than it used to be)
I phrased this tweet badly and ended up with more "kids these days" rants than I wanted to, but I really appreciate all the stories about what it was like to learn about networking/databases/etc in the past!
