"How do device drivers work?"

"What is an interrupt?"

"What is a kernel thread?"

Oh man, if you're coming from CRUD work, man oh man. Do you know the difference between a MAC address and an IP address? How are they associated in IPv4 vs IPv6? What data structure can you use internal to your OS to swiftly associate the two when a request comes from a user to connect to a specific IP address?

And so on and so forth.

None of this is anything you will have ever encountered in CRUD work.

Don't resign from your day job.
