“I guess to “tech startups” maybe”

I was thinking along those lines ... “assembly” is never outdated ... we have tools to generate the equivalent of assembly these days (compilers) and, in some instances, people code in assembly for their particular processor for performance and/or deterministic behavior. Outdated makes absolutely no sense :-).

I’m pretty sure they meant “assembler language for a now obsolete processor”.

Lol. Learned to program in assembly. Makes people understand what happens under the hood.
