Try to appreciate the elegance of assembly - You can do literally anything by with just a handful of very simple instructions.

While you will not likely do much assembly in the industry, this course is worth putting in the effort as it will make you a better programmer. Being able to build your own routines from scratch and understanding every little step involved is a skill that will serve you well no matter what you end up doing.

Agree. Assembly is like the off-grid homesteading of the computer and programming world.

I love it too. And it can be applied in a similar way to 'off-grid' computing.
