As a sidenote: it is insane that I am now referred to as "performance focused." If you'd told someone at RAD to "go talk to the performance guy", they would literally go to every other office _but_ mine. I was easily the least performance-focused person there!

This is the point. You have to know what your compiler is doing. It often does things wrong, sometimes very, very wrong. And if nobody knows how to read ASM, they are functionally illiterate as far as computing is concerned, and tools will just degrade forever.

Sure. Okay, my wording was most probably wrong. Reading+understanding asm is a valuable skill. Writing x86 asm manually for the modern CPU has extremely narrow use case.

Eh? Not really. I write intrinsics all the time, which I do by figuring out the ASM and then putting it in as intrinsics. Is it exactly the same as writing ASM? No. But you more or less have to know ASM to have any idea what you should be doing.
