Congratulations! You now know more about assembly language than most other people on the planet. What an achievement!
If you're anything like me, there used to be this impenetrable layer between the code you were writing and the actions your computer was taking. Hopefully now that layer is removed, or feels much smaller - you now understand the core concepts of what's happening underneath. There are, of course, a million more things to know about CPUs, assembly, and all of the other layers between, but they're all built out of the work you've done here.
Here's a fun exercise for the next time you're writing JavaScript, Ruby, or whichever higher-level language you've chosen. Take a moment to think about the fact that everything you've written will all end up as machine code eventually, and think about the assembly instructions that the machine code would translate to, and then how those instructions will end up as real life electrical signals running through the physical metal in your CPU.
For next steps, check out some working code examples, and maybe even write your own:
Thanks for taking the time to read this. It was really fun to put together. I hope you enjoyed it. :)
