The video is, naturally enough, focused exclusively on an 8-bit CPU (the 6502 specifically) and mostly on Commodore 64 assembly specificially, but it might be of interest as something one could use to introduce non-programmers they know to some basic programming ideas.

Lisp programmers tend to seem very odd to outsiders, just like anyone else who has had a religious experience they can't quite explain to others.

Ah, Peek, Poke, and Tom Baker. Those were simpler times!
Of course, a 5.25" floppy was a luxury. I had to re-type after a power off ... until my older brother got a weekend job and could afford a cassette recorder, which I borrowed mercilessly.
I think the guy who wrote the 6502 programming book (I still have a copy) was the one who said, "never memorize - always look it up and you'll save yourself hours of mistakes" or something along those lines. Advice that keeps me sane and coding fast even today.

Code or code not. There is no try.
