Yeah I am worried about skill atrophy too. Everyone uses a compiler these days instead of writing assembly. Like who the heck is going to do all the work when people forget how to use the low level tools and a compiler has a bug or something? And don’t get me started on memory management. Nobody even knows how to use malloc(), let alone brk()/mmap(). Everything is relying on automatic memory management. I mean when was the last time you actually used your magnetized needle? I know I am pretty rusty with mine.
