This made me chuckle a few times – “Artist attempts to create most frustrating products imaginable“. Â Some of them take a second or two to understand.
The other day I was joking with a colleague of mine about how much fun it would be to do the web development in Assembly. Â All the usual stuff – pages would be super fast, and the whole subject makes it for some fun interview material, as the candidates mention Assembly pretty much on every CV.
And then I decided to do a quick Google search.  To my (not so great) surprise I got to hilarious this Reddit thread, which, among other things, links to MiniMagAsm, a web development framework written in Assembly.  It compiles into a native binary and can be executed as a CGI script.
I’m not going to use it any time soon, but I think it’s super cool, and way more than a simple “hello world” page that I was expecting to find.
I’ve been over this debate more times than I care to admin. Â From now on, Â I won’t have to repeat myself – just send a link to this GIF instead.
I find this to be very true … So true, in fact, that I’m thinking to include it in the interview process.
By ways of CommitStrip.
