Agreed but have you been in the industry lately? Nobody hires assembly programmers anymore. Want money you must work at wobbly top of abstraction mountain.
I am well aware, but the quotes are timeless for a reason. Not to be cheeky, but "Want money" is exactly how you get to the many routinely broken endpoint solutions that wind up reducing reliability and at times increasing the attack surface. Wherever you are in the stack, please make it more robust and easier to reason about. No matter how far from the assembly.
It’s not just about the tech abstraction mountain, it’s about the app logic and dev process too.
A react native JS app with a clear spec and a solid release process can be more reliable than bloated software that receives an untested hotfix, even if the latter was handwritten in assembly.
