What are you doing in assembly?

Manually optimizing the code I wrote in C, so that it runs noticeably slower and has all sorts of stupid bugs that weren't there before. All in a good night's work.

That doesn’t sound like optimization.

Well, I guess it's either writing a device driver or that.

And the device driver will always end-up with most code in C or Rust.

Doing vector operations because the MCU vendor didn't provide APIs for it.

(did not actually do that but was preparing to before we came to our senses and ditched that MCU)
