In this tiny ebook I’m going to show you how to get started writing 6502 assembly language. The 6502 processor was massive in the seventies and eighties, powering famous computers like the BBC Micro, Atari 2600, Commodore 64, Apple II, and the Nintendo Entertainment System.
“Fuck You.”I’ve heard some serious shit said in meetings. These are all actual things I’ve heard expressed from either clients or colleagues. And here’s why we don’t care about them:
