Wow. There is programming and then there is programming. Whenever I see something like this I feel like what I do for a living is duplo blocks in comparison.

- dgunay 5y agoI am thankful every day for the work of those who came before me. Their long hours toiling over hardware, assembly, compilers, protocol stacks, libraries, frameworks, etc let us focus on the bigger picture, how to write same-y CRUD apps for businesses :)
- xtracto 5y agoIve had the opportunity to tinker with ASM, z80 architecture, low level programming and other similar stuff (I'm less than 1/1000th able as the referenced author). I find this programming it very beautiful and rewarding in that you really know that you are programming the hardware. Unfortunately it's not an easy path to get a good paying job (unless you are exceptional like the gentleman). So I ended up building fintech web apps.
- saagarjha 5y agoYou can get a well paying job off of these skills, but the job title will read something like "performance engineer" or "security researcher" rather than "assembly programmer".
