what is boring about it?

Answer 3

Well, it depends !, for a beginner it's not necessary to use them or understand them, although it's better to have at least an idea.
bit manipulation is mostly used to optimize performance at a lower level,
or cryptography....
so you can skip it, and learn it when you have to.
