  • Several reasons:

    • Compilers strip all the bullshit from the code. Most software projects have shitty code structure and navigating them without prior exposure is a bloody nightmare. Everything gets a lot easier in binary.
    • Compiler optimisations flatten the code into an easier to understand structure. You don’t have to just around function definitions in multiple files when the compiler inlined them all for you to see on one screen.
    • Assembly debuggers usually have a lot more features than source code based ones: trapping OS calls, scripting, etc. They make life so much easier.

    Most software developers have no fucking clue how computers work, it’s all magic to them. People joke about “vibe coding with AI” these days, but let’s be real, 99% of software developers are vibe coders, but with Google instead of AI. Of course these people will never understand a bit of assembly, they can’t even fucking grasp the basics of higher level languages!

    There’s nothing hard about binaries, code is code.

    Do you understand what the word “household” means? A household is an entity which pays council tax. The amount of households cannot be higher than the amount of houses, it’s just impossible.

    Some examples of households:

    • A single person living in a flat.
    • A family of four living in a house.
    • A group of unrelated five people living in an HMO.

    First of all, households do not include homeless. There are at least 354k homeless people in England according to Shelter. That’s 354k houses needed. Homeless don’t live in a house, they don’t pay council tax, they are not counted towards household number. Your bullshit think tank has decided that homeless are not humans and do not deserve a place to live.

    Second - a family of four has two kids, kids need their own place. That’s two more houses needed for this example household. ONS census indicates that at least 4.9m adults live with their parents. That’s 4.9m more additional houses needed. Your bullshit think tank has decided that kids should live at parents’ house until they die and dropped them from their statistics interpretation.

    And last, but not least, HMOs are a temporary accommodation. People living in them - they all need their own place. There are around 480k living in HMOs in England, that’s an additional 480k houses needed. But your bullshit think tank decided that these people don’t matter.

    The difference comes from statistics manipulation to fit the agenda to keep the houses growing to please landlord donors.
