I remember very clearly that day when i was in early 20ties dumbfounded by 90-something grandfather of my mother's best friend, who was programming his whole security camera/alarm/gate opening system in assembly. Hell, he was a dinosaur and yet a thousand times more knowledgeable in microprocessors and the stuff i consider too difficult to this day. I didn't even think he knew what a computer was, let alone had a decent ine in the garage... 😆
