- High level programming languages are killing your ability to write assembly by hand. Before you can really architect a solution, high level programming languages throw slop machine code on the cpu and you blindly hit runCursor is killing your ability to think for yourself. Before you can architect a solution, AI throws slop on the screen as you blindly hit tab. You spend the next 30 minutes debugging why the code doesn’t work or compile. In the end, you learned nothing. Two engineers on our
