I don't understand Assembly. Straight up binary only for me.

Same here. Assembly is a little too high level for me. I don't like the assembler guessing what I meant. I like telling processors exactly what to do.

Honestly, modern CISC processors are also a little high level if you think about it. I don't want the processor guessing what I meant to tell it. I like telling them exactly what to do.

The processor is just going to guess wrong and might occasionally waste a few cycles!
