    What kind of cs degree did you get where you learned about electrical circuits. The closest to hardware I’ve learned is logic circuit diagrams and verilog.

      I mean, I graduated over 20 years ago now, but I had to take a number of EE courses for my CS major. Guess that isn’t a thing now, or in a lot of places? Just assumed some level of EE knowledge was required for a CS degree this whole time.

        In my uni they kinda just teach java. There is one mandatory class that’s in C and one that’s in mips assembly tho.

        Everyone used AI when I took those classes. By the end of the year they were still having trouble on groupchat with syntax stuff.

      I learned about transistors in Informatics class in highschool. Everything from the bottom up, from the material that makes a transistor possible to basic logic circuits sr flip flops, and, or, xor, addition, to the von-neumann-architecture, a basic microprocessor and machine code and assembly.

      In my own uni’s coursework the closest we get are some labs where students breadboard some simple adder circuits, which we do just to save them from embarassing gaps in their knowledge (like happened in the inital comment). It doesn’t add much beyond a slightly better understanding of how things can be implemented, if we’re being honest.
