alt Hacker NewsI think writing assembly indeed offers no benefit for most developers. However, being able to read and understand assembly is generally useful.
Enables debugging binaries and crash dumps without complete source codes, like DLLs shipped with Windows or third-party DLLs. Allows to understand what compilers (both traditional and JIT) did to your source codes, this is useful when doing performance optimizations.
I write mobile apps for living (mostly Java/Kotlin, a little bit of Flutter/RN) so yeah agree assembly is practically useless for professional work.
But for tinkering (e.g writing GBA/NES games), hell why not? It's fun.
