Oh. Well then, yeah.
Besides, you don't have to worry about the worst of x86 in those cases.
I'm pretty sure everyone has to learn at least that much x86 at some point, like it or not.
- toast0 10y agoI'm not sure everyone has to learn even that much. I've managed to avoid it until very recently and I'm more willing to dive into underlying code than most people I know (I've contributed to a FreeBSD kernel patch in TCP and an OpenSSL key exchange interoperability fix)
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoI haven't jumped into the kernel yet. But I'm only 15. I still have time.
- int_hdlr 10y agoThis is not a piss contest.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoNever said it was. Actually, it was more along the lines of that being a thing I should do at some point.
- umanwizard 10y agoI don't think that's true. I work at a major software company and certainly not all of my coworkers are interested enough in low-level stuff to ever need to read assembly. It's a good skill to have, and since not everyone has it you will often be able to solve problems that no one else can.
