To all those senior programmers out there do you think learning assembly can benefit you in landing a job? It seems like an useless language to me other than it might be fun to play around with kernels

I thought it was interesting to learn but damn, it requires crazy amounts of patience just write one simple program haha

i'm not senior but i think it would definitely make your resume stand out!! Of course there are many more practical skills nowadays.

I think a basic understanding (like from an Assembly Language course) is useful though.

I think assembly is useful now to understand better a language and not pass too muvh time to understand something fundamental about a language that yoj are learning.

Assembly is super easy to learn, spur hard to use.
It's interesting to know because that's the last hood under the hood, but a job ? There's probably some for very specific needs, but that's probably not your best bet

I've heard that it is actually very impressive to resume reviewers. They love to see that you have attempted to tackle such a low-level language. It shows how far you are willing to go.

It is useful to have an understanding at low level. It's rarely practical, unless you are planning to write very specialized pieces of kernel code.

How do recruiters look upon that? Who the fuck cares. You should care about your skills and the fact that you understand the low level nitty gritty details of programming.

So, by all means learn it. Also learn about system architecture while you are at it.
