Reading Woz's talking about hand-assembling his 6502 code reminded me of my own practice which was the same. I would write out programs on graph paper with columns for the physical address, any labels and space for what the code would assemble to to the left of my actual assembler code. I would drop down to the monitor to hand-enter the hex code I would hand-generate. When you're working under constraints like this, you tend to be very careful in your coding. There's a part of me that still thinks in terms of the Apple ][ architecture when thinking about how a program works.
