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.

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.

Assembly is mostly unnecessary. I took the course way back when but haven’t used it since.
