Oh no sorry, I didn't mean it as a critique, haha! I just thought this was a funny deja vu. It was this little comment exchange in a post linking a free x86-64 assembly book:
k: it probably teaches more than everything i know about amd64 assembly, except the most important thing, which is that arm assembly is much better
vdZ: I'm sure many architectures are nicer than amd64, but that's what the CPU in my laptop uses, as well as my Steam Deck. If I want to get into low-level hacking it's easiest to start with the hardware I have, no?
k: yup, no use looking for your keys in the rose garden if you know you dropped them in the sewer
