I would say computer systems design/architecture, principles of low level languages should be the first thing. There's a direct correlation between not understanding first principles of engineering and time spent looking for answers on Google.

ltlian22174yI have a more general take on it. The first thing any engineer should learn - or realize - is how to use documentation.
Engineers and devs don't memorize anything. We know how to look it up.
I'm always taken aback a little when I see students treat reading docs (or googling) as low key cheating. Exams aren't indicative of a work scenario. -

What worse is that we have to code a program in paper and pencil for an exam?
That's not how programming work and who remember every function,class name,namespace for the exam?
One of the first things people should be learning is how to google properly. What y’all think
