Been retired a while, but have puttered around since.My experience has been mostly assembly control code, many assembly languages, but NO x86, many older high level languages and C but in some cases the C was just treated like a comment above each assembly function because the C processor was terrible so we still used assembly for the code. Tried to use NASA's power of 10 rules as much as possible.
I have been hanging around Bill's site and watching his u tube stuff for a long time and after watching his video on PlatformIO I decided I might have questions so I joined the forum.
Like a lot of people I have too many hobbies, this is just one.

Hi, @thespamcatcher, and welcome to the forum!
Agree with @zander's post about you ability as a teacher rather than a student...lol
Many of us have your problem with too many hobbies..But I'm pairing it down to just a few now..electronics has been my life since 1965..first the Navy, 1965-1969, then heavy industrial construction for 17 years, and finally 28 years in plant maintenance as an electrical/instrumentation tech. ( process control and automation).
