I finally had a coding mentor tell me I was wasting my time with Python frameworks

Met this older guy at a coffee shop in Tulsa last month who's been coding since the 80s. He watched me grinding through Django tutorials and just flat out said "you're learning the wrong stuff, learn how the damn computer works first." Told me to drop frameworks, drop libraries, and just write raw Python for 6 months. Been doing it for 3 weeks now and honestly I finally understand what's actually happening when I run a script. Has anyone else had someone tell them to ditch the fancy tools and go back to basics?

What did he say about learning memory management specifically?
