I used assembly for MCU programming, like PIC and Atmel, for hobby-level robotics stuff. It was very god-mode. I’m in the registers. I’m in the memory. I tell the program where to go and it obeys. Data types ? Never heard of them, all I see is 1s and 0s.

Alas, now I code in Python for work, and it’s all high level.

It’s as close to the motherboard as you’re likely to get. Python’s not the worst - I’m barely doing any development these days (maybe 100 lines a month tweaking old code). Stuck in management. Far less rewarding!😅

I hope it’s far better paid at least.
