It's not a meme, it is an admission that your average student has the attention span of a goldfish. Assembly programming is hard work for meagre results. Meanwhile you can throw together some GUI program to trace IP addresses using Visual Basic in ten minutes. Guess which one will appeal more to the beginner? If you think you are bad enough for starting with assembly, go for it, but most students would rather make the next Facebook as an electron "app" or some shit like that.
