@dotsie@mastodon.social @jimbob@aus.social an engineer I talked to this evening at a benefit for my son’s school (not a cs engineer - one who works in another field) told me about a class he took in grad school where they built an entire computer from the ground up to run on a 286 based chip. As a class on learning the deep systems of computing. This was in 2016. He found the class fantastic - they soldered their own circuits etc. and learned a lot.
