More than welcome sir. You may find this of interest, as I think it applies as well.
I was working at Monsanto, as a computer operator, teaching myself assembler in 1984, using PoP (IBM System 370 Principles of Operation). And was having a heck of a time, writing a program my boss had asked me to do. He took a look at the code, and said. your on the right track… and I looked at him, and went well gosh that’s HELPFULL!
lmao
He laughed and said, when your writing in assembler, you have to have discipline, and you remember this, “Think of programming in assembler, as building a house, and every instruction, is a unique kind of brick, that you can use any way you wish…”. Now build me a D*mn house, and stop taking so long! lol
but that analogy has stuck with me, and he was correct for assembler, BUT that simple analogy, can be applied to so darn many more things in computers than just 1 language.
Thank you for the conversation, enjoyed it, and have a great day!
