It's a very long time since anyone seriously worked at a senior level with 0s and 1s, you may have to cover them as a pupil, but even octal went out with 8 bit computers.

So, this is a long ago post that I was replying to, sorry about that, but it still has to be said, computers are getting more difficult, and programming them becomes higher level to deal with the added complexity, yes it's all "0s and 1s" at the very lowest level, but you can't look at that level and make any sense of the things at all, unless you are God.
Bingo! Thank you for navigating this topic through the misinformation and hubris. Very refreshing.

If it was that easy it would have been done long ago. TF has done a great job so far and I don't think they are done yet. Look forward to their future work.
