TL;DR
Learning assembly isn’t just an academic exercise—it fundamentally reshapes how you think about every layer of software. In this episode, Dave Farley dives into why understanding machine language—even if you rarely write it—gives you “mechanical sympathy” for performance, debugging and optimization that you just can’t get from high-level languages alone.
Whether you’re a seasoned engineer or a CS student, this deep dive into “why we still program in assembler” is a must-hear reminder that low-level mastery builds stronger, more efficient software skills at every level.
