I think this way of thinking is an uphill battle.

My kid uses wifi, google classroom tools, youtube, games,... I can tell him if only you knew command.com, ipconfig, doom.wad formats, lateg,... you could be so much more proficient. I already know this will never happen, just like I never learned x86 assembly.

The same goes for tools like LLMs, once you are used to them, your knowledge shifts.

I learned a bit of assembly and it was a god send to understand linkers and how FFI works. Also make it easier to have a good model on using a debugger. Not that useful on a tactical level, but really great when faced with some errors in your compiled programs.
