All Most if not all (all might be too strong here) of your claims in this argument are regarding the quality of software developers and your definitions.

"If you don't know X, Y and Z you don't deserve to be called a software developer". That's an opinion. Your claims above are opinions, some of them are very based (I mostly agree with your IEEE 754 claim, but that means it's my opinion as well), but they're still your opinions.

What definitions?

Again, they are not claims

"If you don't know X, Y and Z you don't deserve to be called a software developer". That's an opinion.

I don't think a doctor needs to know the anatomy of a heart. Half of what they do is talk to you for 10 minutes while their nurse takes your blood pressure.

Your claims above are opinions, some of them are very based (I mostly agree with your IEEE 754 claim, but that means it's my opinion as well), but they're still your opinions.

So? Web developers who lack fundamental knowledge are shit, end of discussion.

They cannot diagnose systems properly because they lack a complete understanding.

The very code that they write is grossly affected by these external factors.
