This is just really good, really well explained, and full of truth.
No further comment. There is absolutely nothing bad about learning the inner workings of your machines. Go even lower than C if you can -- learn assembly, learn about logic gates and memory, learn some electrical engineering, and the physics underpinning it. It just makes the magic more amazing.
And you may think it is a waste of time, but you have to have a little bit of faith that it isn't. Because you will be a different kind of programmer once you cross that threshold.
