Something bad about CI

[quote author="Dam1an" date="1240365600"]I see where you're coming from, but don't neceserily think its a bad thing
Programming langauges as a whole (as well as frameowkrs) continually move on to ahigher level
We acheive more by writting less etc

I think you only really need to know low level stuff if you're building the next generation of framework, take C as an example, hardly anyone uses it for anything new these days (unless you need something low level/maximum performanc), most desktop applications are done in C++ or C#

And I also have to Google how to do an SQL query in PHP lol[/quote]

He's not really talking that low-level - but he is absolutely right. Knowing how to continue doing SQL statements, connecting to a database.etc. is an absolutely must - especially if you want to make it somewhere as a web developer. Not all firms are going to use a particular framework, some jobs may require you to actually develop your own, or interfacing between different libraries/frameworks.etc.

I'm with the author 100% on this. A framework is very different from a higher-level language. You SHOULD know (and continue to know) what's going on in the background. Also, depending on frameworks/libraries can result in false positives.
