“Many of the lessons learned years ago have been forgotten.”
Being a retired Sys/App Assembler programmer from days gone by, can current programmers read ‘core dumps’ understand machine language and op codes etc? just askin.

Nope. They even mock those that can. They think “var x = 1;” is complex programming. They don’t even have to define the variable type for x, they just let the compiler do it.
Several years ago I was on an airplane with a recent computer science graduate. I asked him how he liked assembly language. He looked at me like I was speaking Swahili. He had NO IDEA what assembly language was.
What the heck are they teaching for 4 years ?

Do they even own six colors of flair pen?

If it's a 'core dump' from an IBM mainframe I can still read it. I'm retired too, but some things just stick with you. Trouble is, someone stole my Decimal/Octal/Hex calculator some years back so it might take me a bit longer. :)
