Posted on January 26, 2016 at 18:54This is my opinion
And that's fine, multiple opinions can exist and be valid, this stuff isn't black and white.
I can put my black hat on when I need too, I've designed silicon chips, I understand how this stuff works at a gate level, and I don't have a need to micro-manage stuff at this level, it is brutal and unnecessary, and I can get efficiency where I need it using mechanical advantage, good algorithms and choices. I read the manuals, I understand the hardware, I can debug my own code.
I respect the code and methods that Jan uses, but I, personally, don't need to get lost in the minutia of a specific part from a specific vendor. My horizons are a lot broader than that, and understanding of the problems deeper than most people probably appreciate. I could be a big troll, but I choose not to be.
My problem is a lot of the other people using register level coding are useless at it, and think a load/store shit storm is more efficient than calling a subroutine and using processor registers effectively.
>> and can take hours to get right and debug. >Eh? Yeah, I'm not internalizing, but observing respondents here dicking with stuff for days/weeks and not being able to debug there way out themselves. ''They chose poorly'' to paraphrase the words of the Knight.
Transferability comes down to handing it off to someone with a equivalent skills/ability, sure that's easy, problem is most stuff gets dumped on the team member with the least ability or experience, and then clarity wins over obfuscation.
