Comment on What Every Computer Science Major Should Know

The only thing that I had in my undergrad education that I miss in this list is experience with an assembly language. It probably fits in best in the discussion on Architecture: programming in an assembly language, at the very least, makes programmers appreciate high-level languages and makes them think about the underlying hardware.

Great point!

I'll make that an explicit point under architecture and PL.
