Details may not be important, but every programmer should know how computers work and have at least a basic grasp of what operations the computer has to perform to execute any given code. This fundamental knowledge seems lacking in a lot of modern devs that started in dynamic languages like javascript, where they will happily add half a dozen extra arrays and array operations to get code into one line and then act like they did a good thing.
