Yes I worked on machine code (assembler) for a few years (not full time though). That's like learning to drive with a stick shift!

This was actual machine code - convert your assembler to 1s and 0s. Set 8 bits (0 or 1), push button to record to memory. Use up / down button to scroll through memory to see the bits (one 8 bit word at a time).
No insert. No changes allowed. The "enter" button always recorded to the next memory location. "Reset" cleared the memory. All of the memory.
