Source code in any language tells you nothing about what the CPU is actually asked to do; only the compiler's assembly output does, and reading it is a skill every serious programmer should have.

What Casey Muratori actually said

  1. Casey Muratori Game and engine programmer
    If I look at the assembly language output from that compiler, I know exactly what the CPU is being asked to do. And it's not that hard to be able to learn to read assembly language so that you can see very quickly is the CPU being asked to do the things that I think it should be asked to do them.
