But he was actually right here. You don't improvise yourself an ASM programer overnight - and you can't seriously tell people to follow a link on x86 or ARM assembler to figure it out by themselves. Especially if they have no prior programming experience.You know, that attitude really annoys me. If you don't encourage people, they probably won't even try. You have no idea whether they are capable or not - they might not be at this very minute, but you have no idea what aptitude they have for that sort of thing.
If you want to help people, start telling them to have realistic goals, and show them what they can start doing, and progressively build on that to become more advanced and skilled. If you throw someone to try assembly from scratch, what you end up with is someone who won't grasp anything and who will give up after 5 minutes, That's the attitude which is wrong.
