But then why would they be interviewing for a coding job anyways? Shouldn't a coder know what's a RAM, and that it's different from secondary storage??

I'm thinking a lot about folks who come out of coding "boot camps." Those folks for the most part have /heard/ of "RAM" and "disc," but might not know why they both exist and what each one does.

I would not want to hire anyone who doesn't have _some_ idea of what these things are, and how they work.

Then presumably you're able to appreciate the value in someone explaining it to them in a blog post.
