I could see the pain on high level languages, but does assembly style change? Does it make a difference if it's 2, 20 or 40 years old?

@Sefie actually code is in C (20 years old) but I have to debug it on specific OS and debugger doesn’t support symbols therefore I have to follow instructions in assembly and read variables under registers.
