My first job was writing 68000 asm for the yet to be released Macintosh. I had a list of opcodes and a register list for the chip. I had sparse, unfinished documentation of the Mac ROM. You will never hear me complain about developers using search engines to help them code.
- chucksmash 6y agoDo you ever get nostalgic for it? Most of my programming career has been in Python/JS and as I've gotten a bit older, I've found bare metal computing a very rewarding hobby. I'm curious if - having done this to pay the bills as opposed to noodling around - you miss that era?
- okareaman 6y agoNot really. I like asm coding but it gets tedious on large projects and I don't miss dealing with bugs that bring the whole machine down.
