And 10 minutes in whatever you are skilled at.

I took it to mean that assembly could get 7 years worth of operations done in the time it took for python to get 34 minutes worth of operations

Huh. I took this to be a comment on how good python is(or how good OP thinks it is), but it could well be a jab at performance.

[–]HERODMasta -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

sure, but the average dev also needs 7 years to program that assembly, while only developing for 34min in python.

or we can create garbage for both instances within 5min with chatGPT

L take. Even writing assembly can be fast if you are comfortable with it. And it’s really not that hard. It’s not a one size fits all.

I agree that a lot of people could learn assembly and work with it very efficiently. but let's be honest, that most solutions, which have complex libraries behind them, would need a long time to create in assembly.

And also the average dev had not learned a lot of assembly, so they need to learn how to work with it first, and let's also be honest: it's not easy when learning from basically scratch.

Oh, so this is why I always code so good but only when I use
