As a one-man-band.

I can't imagine what you are comparing his efforts to.
He did a lot better than "quite well" and I see no reason
to deny it.

Just the fact that Linus only needed to write the kernel and probably the 
first device drivers. I believe he was familiar with Minix before he 
started to write what became the Linux kernel, so its likely this had 
some influence.

The shell, compiler collection, standard libraries and utility programs 
were all previously existing Open Source code, much of it was and is from 
the GNU Foundation. Since Linus re-implemented the standard (SVR4?) set 
of UNIX service calls, all the non-Kernel stuff pretty much just worked - 
as you'd expect if the service call implementation was correctly done, 
which it was.

I followed the process from side.

He based part of the system on Minix, but the main architecture is
different: Minix is a three-part microkernel system, and Linux has
a monolithic kernel.

This is the style of thinking that gives the computer industry such a
bad reputation. It gave rise to the reinterpretation of Newton's quote
"If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
In the computer industry we stand on each others toes".

Linus Torvalds had the intelligence _not_ to be a one-man-band. He
stood on the shoulders of Professor Tanenbaum, Richard Stallman and
the rest of the Free Software Foundation and he acknowledges they were
essential to develop Linux.

You can lament the fact that students are no longer taught how to use
wire spring relays and mercury delay lines as computer memory. The
rest of us will rejoice that today's students learn our requirement to
have event driven programs written in, say, Python and they have no
idea that the hardware has rearranged the machine instructions that
were output by the Python interpreter.

The biggest threat to humanity comes from socialism, which has utterly 
diverted our attention away from what really matters to our existential 
survival, to indulging in navel gazing and faux moral investigations 
into what the world ought to be, whilst we fail utterly to deal with 
what it actually is.

Wrong logic terminology too. It was "reductio ad absurdum". You lament
the slow disappearance of some skills that you have that no longer
serve a general purpose. You don't care about the loss of the skills
that the pioneer computer engineers needed.

I cannot make any sense of that. The Straw man was because I had never
mentioned those techniques. Also, there's no evidence at all for
your last sentence, so I wonder what prompted you to say it?

You also conflated two separate linesof discussion, one being
my interest in having low level access via blinkenlights, with the
other, disparate, being a lament that so-called computer scientists
do not understand how their computer works.

Acadaemic education is not, and should not be, about commercial and trade
convenience.

In my day, anyone with a good grounding in assembler programming could be
taken on in ANY computing environment being thought capable of
intelligent self application, but nowadays job interviews get restricted to
the very limited experiences of such so-called computer scientiist
interviewers who only know C, C++ and Linux.

	In your day (and my early days) most programming was not dissimilar
to assembler level programming. These days it is not - clear high level
abstractions, maintainability and testability are the order of the day for
a great deal of programming today. How many assembler programmers can
design a good object hierarchy for example ? How many know the boundaries
of undefined behaviour in C++, or how to get object reference counting
right interfacing between C and Python ?

	The skills of an assembler programmer are still relevant, but not
in the mainstream of programming or even in much of OS programming,
they come in at device driver and embedded system level these days.

	I started with those skills, hardware design skills and some higher
level programming skills. Over the years I have kept up to date with the
state of the art in many (but far from all) areas and as a result have
learned to apply the core skills to new areas. Over the years I've worked
in BCPL, C, 4GLs, Smalltalk, C++, Java, Perl, Python, PHP and JavaScript at
least, I've worked on everything from an OS on bare metal from scratch to
highly scalable websites by way of distributed databases.

	Yes someone with skills in assembler language programming can still
get good jobs today, but only by staying up to date in areas where there is
work. The skills of yesterday aren't taught much now because few need them.

	When I started I got work very easily - the detailed skills I had
then would likely not get me a job anywhere today, I would not suggest that
anyone bother learning them.

	If you want to design new computers today then you'll not be
working with logic gates and timing diagrams, you'll be working with high
level modules blocking out the processor structure to run under simulated
loads while you tweak the internal structure for best balance.

	If you want to write kernel code and device drivers you'll be
working in C and be concerned with APIs, interface specifications, thread
safety, deadlocks and so forth.

	Small embedded controllers are about the only things where anyone
works at the level we used to.

	Whatever you want to do from that lot (or the much bigger list I
could have written) the skills you'll need in common with the hardware
designers and low level programmers of the days of yore are the skills of
clear thinking, attention to detail, problem solving and fault tracking.
But you won't be using them the same way we did to design logic boards or
debug assembler code, any more than we used them the same way earlier
engineers used them to design and debug complex electromechanical systems
or even earlier ones to design and debug steam engines.

	The core skills never change, and the able always learn them but
the context changes over the decades and some old hands always wail that the
baby has been thrown out with the bath water and they're never right.

	There is a lot of that, it reflects the relative lack of jobs for
low level programmers today. In fact ITYF that most programming jobs these
days are JAVA or HTML/CSS/JavaScript, followed by python/perl/ruby with
C/C++ trailing behind and Assembler way down in the noise. A competent
interviewer is looking for someone they can drop into the team quickly,
someone who has to learn the tools first is only going to be considered if
there's nobody ready to go.

What gets me is the adverts for '9 years experience' on a platform that 
has only existed for five years.....!

In the case of some software, for example in the early days of NT, I
suspect that this was intended to try to lure away M$ employees who might
actually have had the desired experience pre-release.

And also when interviewing job candidates how often does 9 years' experience
mean 1 years' experience repeated a furthe 8 times?  :-)

You could have 9 years of effective experience during 5 years of calendar
time if you just worked a LOT of overtime. The normal number of work hours
in a year is somewhere from 1750 to 1950 depending on country, but the 
year actually contains 8760 hours. If you work 12 hour days 365 days a year
you will have 4380 hours, You could take a month off and still be more
than 100% ahead.

You seem, with a great deal of sesquipedalian prolix,  to be agreeing with
me that starting out as an assembler programmer
made you a good candidate for picking up skills in other areas.

For how many of the language experiences and software paradigms
that you itemise did you undergo a formal training course?

There you go, then.

	Up to a point you have to pick up the skills before you can be
hired to use them. Nobody will hire you for skills you cannot demonstrate.

	I'm also observing that the skills of an assembler programmer on
simple hardware are not going to match any job requirements today, so those
skills would be terrible ones to learn now.

	You must start with something that is current when you start, and
stay up to date.

> For how many of the language experiences and software paradigms

	None of them after I left university. Generally I learned them on
the job after being hired for the skills I already had.

> There you go, then.

	Where ?

Not really.
Once you have graduated you are shown to have a level of ability to 
learn and since university learning entails quite a degree of 
self-teaching and independence then switching to an allied subject 
should be possible without formal training.
Learning one language and switching to another is a lot simpler than 
learning from scratch especially if it shares a lot of paradigms.

I was university-trained on 6502 (which was easy for me as I used to 
have an Acorn Atom), z80 and pascal but made the switch to 68000 and C 
quite easily as there was a lot of cross over.
I opted to take a formal course on C++ to understand the object oriented 
language parts and then moved from C++ to Java and now python for 
playing with the pi.

	You have misunderstood. I was hired for jobs using skills I already
had at the time I was hired, often enough there would be a need for someone
on the team to absorb a new skill (not enough need to hire someone else
with that skill) and often enough that would be me (I tended to volunteer if
it interested me at all), after which of course I would become the local
specialist in $skill and would mention it in my CV for the next job
application as something I had experience in.

	Rinse and repeat for thirty odd years and you wind up with a list
like the one I posted. Fail to keep up with changes in your field and you
wind up in middle management or out of work bemoaning the lack of
opportunity for skilled people.

You continue to confirm more and more that someone with a good grounding
in assembler can fit in anywhere.

Not in data base management work.  That requires a different style of
thinking.  A gray area is networking which is data base layers within
layers.
