I kinda disagree, I learned assembly after I learned C and I felt like I still appreciated it

can you please share how you actually learned assembly and the resources you've used for it?

It was in college, had a couple of courses that involves writing some things in assembly. There's not a lot to assembly, but when you write it you realize how function calls involve a bunch of arbitrary choices, and the stack is part of the c runtime, etc. I definitely wouldn't call myself an expert, but the experience was illuminating coming from the world of higher level languages.
