I was hoping someone would say something along these lines. My only experience with assembly has been on very simple educational platforms: nios ii on an Altera DE0 FPGA and a MIPS subset on a custom architecture made in class. I've seen photos of the huge x86 reference manual and can see how "real-life" systems would be way more complex than the simple world of assembly I've tried myself.
