If everything is all the same encoding, or all your data is ANSI you never have to think about it. It’s only when your program runs across systems or regions things get screwed up
You make a good point. Data and programming can be seen as separate entities. Though I’d disagree with this slightly because some programming languages are friendlier to some data types than others.
With that said, my main disagreement comes from the claim that every programmer must know what is being pitched here. Which is what I would take with a block of salt.
