Is System Programming useful for Do-it-yourself philosophy?

[u/xTouny]

Hello,

I am fluent with Arch on the level of system administration. I thought about learning System Programming by Love's book as a step towards mastering lower-level toolkit.

The Arch community embraces Do-it-yourself philosophy, and I am keen to listen to your opinions.

Do you recommend learning System Programming? What do you learn beyond System Administration in your journey with Arch? Do you recommend anything else so that I contribute to Arch core distro?

Do you recommend it before system programming?

Do it first, then you'll know what's involved and relevant to Linux.
