I had an assembly class in college. I didn't love of at all. Got my first job after graduating and it was writing space shuttle engine control software, which was in assembly. I was kind of surprised at how fast it became natural after dealing with it full time. Still, it felt luxurious when we upgraded the controller and could do the software in C.
"oh no, I had to do literal rocket science"
yeah it was impossible for me in college until i spent 8 hours fucking with it and then had a dream in assembly…
like, somehow using boxes in 3d to write “code” that then ran and moved other boxes around… i wish i could remember it exactly but when i woke up it all made sense to me and was pretty easy….
That's cool, I wish my dreams were ever that useful
mine are usually just nightmares… or i don’t remember them… but that one time it was pretty useful.
if you do some lucid dreaming exercises you can do stuff like that… but some say it can make you go crazy so i dunno… i quit.
