Larry's rules of software engineering part 1, redux

One of my early blog posts was one I entitled “Every software engineer should know roughly what assembly language their code generates“.  It got a lot of commentary.

Well, I just ran into (via /.) the following article by Randall Hyde entitled: “Why learning assembly language is still a good idea“.

His article is much more in-depth and better written than my post, but essentially restates my premise.  I'm always happy when other people post stuff that agrees with me :)
