Remember: downvoting is for showing that the comment is not following HR rules. One doesn't downvote because one disagrees to a well-presented truthful argument. No, in that case, one replies: and begins a discussion. As usual, I stand by my comments, as they are my lived life experience. And, I believe they are quite accurate, and otherwise a thoughtful answer to the OPs question. Nobody asked, for example WHY was I writing assembly language for 4 years; but I'll tell anyway: I wrote a compiler for a Python-like language called "Simpletran". It pre-dates Python by several decades, but many of the original ideas in the early Pythons are there.
