Strategic Utility

Why spend time on technical trivia? Under Conway's Law and standard architectural paradigms, system constraints are frequently dictated by standard internet protocols. A CTO or VP of Engineering who instantly recalls RFC bounds (such as HTTP semantics or DNS quirks) makes faster, more accurate high-level architectural decisions and debugs outages with higher efficiency.
