I am working on a video for my YT channel. I am musing on the idea that knowledge of assembly level programming informs how we think about how computers work. I feel that my knowledge deeply informs how I interpret how things work, but I am struggling to find a killer example, any suggestions?

AI will never replace testing.
It will expose how broken your tests really are. If your automation is built on code coverage and not behaviour, you’re building illusions.
