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!

Modern compiler will do it better than you. Write in C :)

100% false. While you can usually still use C, if you can't read the ASM that gets generated, you will get hurt all the time by very bad codegen and not know. I encounter a horrendous LLVM codegen bug at least once every LLVM version, and it seems to be getting more frequent.

This is 100% false because you found some bug in the compiler? Give the impression to a beginner ASM programmer that he will always write better ASM than the compiler is a really bad advice. 1/2

I am happy to revise it to 99.9% false if you would prefer. The person asked for a book on ASM. Someone told him to "just code in C". I think that's 100% false advice, or 100% "bad" advice, etc. Nobody said anything about "always producing better code than a compiler".

The only bad advice to give to someone who wants to learn ASM is "don't", and that was the advice given, and it is 100% false. Or 99.9% false if you'd like. That's as low as I'll go.
