> While CS undergrads are still required to take classes on assembly, most productive SWEs never interact with assembly. You may think this, but the principles are extremely relevant even in much 'higher tiers' of programming, such as the front-end. Performance optimization is always relevant, and understanding the concepts you learn from learning assembly is crucial. Such courses also generally encourage a depth of understanding of the whole computing stack. This is more and more relevant in the modern age, where we have technologies such as Web*Assembly*.
