Thanks for the link, just learned of this and I'm impressed and interested.

We could check popular job boards (or HN's Who's Hiring threads) and see how many postings mention compilers, kernels, assembly, GPU, etc. Then compare that number to the total.

Thanks for the link. This is really awesome!

Hey Abner, programmer with much the same philosophy here.

I'm interested in being an instructor, but not sure I would have anything useful to add. If you've read my blog [1], do you think I would?

If you haven't read it, feel free to ignore this.

Edit: I was specifically thinking about a course on fuzzing.

I tend to believe that the number of people working with machine instructions might have even increased! We have much more of the tech that I mentioned nowadays compared to 90s. Also a lot of other industries have entered digital age and in many of them, i.e aviation, transportation, financial, etc. knowing the intricacies of your hardware is crucial.

The thing is that web development has seen such a boom which has seemingly dwarfed everything else in its wake.
