    I have two reactions: 1. The headline is rather silly. 2. There’s no way this little script, although it might conceivably be useful to someone, needs to be a youtube video.

    Isn’t the whole point of assembly that there is no compiler?

      Right, they just use an assembler and a linker …

      I mean they’re not wrong…

      This is why my next book will be titled “how to cook dinner without a compiler, GCC 4 to GCC 11 compatible!”

    I was going to click on this until I saw it was a video.

    I’m still super confused by this user’s posts lol. I get that (some? most?) of it is satire… but then why all social media engagement farming hashtag nonsense? Or is this all part of the satire…?
