    @milliways - I've written only parts of a hand coded assembler (never finished), BUT I started programming in machine language on a 6800 (6802 mostly). ie no assembler - write mnemonics, compile "in head", hand calculate relative branches, key in code from hand drawn listing with hex keypad (occasionally binary switches). Creed 7B baudot printer "after a while". I submit for your valued consideration that that qualifies as "having lived" in this context :-). No?.
