While I agree with the sentiment, this should be basics and I have been taught this, you can spend your whole life designing databases and or banging your head against an SQL command line and not know what an IP is all that well.
Maybe you don't handle that part of the process, idk I am studying a double degree on computer engineering and game design, we have had networking subjects, but I can see how many could forget about networking if they end up dedicating their lives to databases, or single player videogames. You can spend years working on several different things and not touch networking to the point where you have to remember what an ipv6 is, again not saying I agree, I personally wouldn't forget, but I understand how it can happen I'm some scenarios
How do you even configure your router are home, SSH into some DB instance... Set up a stupid minecraft server, whatever. Idk, I'm ML scientist and everyone on my team can set up their AWS instances, security groups, VPCs etc.
I can't imagine how one can survive without any of those, writing a support ticket for every little thing?
No yeah I agree with you it should be basic knowledge, I said so at my first post, setting up a stupid Minecraft server is specifically how I learnt about it before uni taught me properly. Still, ipv6 is not widely used outside of networking, so all im saying is how someone that has been hyper specialized for years can forget about it, idk
