Readers understand this isn't close to being an operating system right? You get the first boot sector of a floppy for free from the BIOS. This isn't even as complex as the most simple boot loader. It doesn't handle loading more sectors of the floppy let alone being like an OS.
It's hello world in assembly, loaded onto the first sector of an emulated floppy. That's neat, but nothing to do with operating systems. Other than you've now learnt the very first stage of bootstrapping from a floppy disk back in the 90s. Which is cool, and good info to know and start out with.
I get the vast majority of people seeing this post have probably only ever experienced nodejs, or Ruby on Rails or something equally high level. But this is trivial with respect to an operating system or even a boot loader.
