Of course you’re not looking at generated assembly anymore because that is the business value of a compiler. The biggest difference now is that you’re probably not as big an expert in the enterprise topic as you were about generating assembly.

These days - no. I’m nowhere near the business expert in the healthcare industry where I now work as I was in the ins and outs of assembly. That’s not my role. I’m a software developer by title, but I would consider myself an “expert” in both the software architecture and the AWS infrastructure of our (smallish) company.
When I was working for the company where I did have to maintain the compiler/IDE/VM after they forced their founder out. I also had to know the complete business needs of the client that kept us afloat because as they laid off people, I had to interact with the customer and write the SOWs. I saw both sides. The skillset I needed to implement the business side was completely different than the skillset I had to have to maintain the compiler stack.
Luckily I was mature enough (and an MBA dropout) to understand the business end and enough of a geek to understand low level computer concepts and could read assembly.
