We have web pages with multiple seconds of latency because devs don't have a deep understanding of the performance hits of composing programs. And for that you need to understand how the CPU works.
- owenmarshall 8y agoI do not believe that knowing ASM would even remotely translate into the ability to optimize web pages for latency: understanding high-level concepts like TLS, HTTP/HTTP2, and being to understand JS engines seems far more applicable. You also seem to be making the assertion that you cannot understand how a CPU works without knowing ASM, which seems equally spurious.
- detaro 8y agoASM is fairly useless knowledge for that problem, unless you go in the deep weeds of internals of your JS interpreter.
