I have programmed by looking up op codes in a table on a sheet of paper and entering the hex codes into an EPROM programmer.

You are.... Old?
Fucking ancient. This was for a Z80 based system using discreet logic for addressing and IO, constructed on a wire-wrapped board.
Did this in university in the very first week, quite a few people dropped out after that 😅
Ah yes, the great filter
I am once again asking programmers to explain the joke
C was originally created as a "high-level" language, being more abstract (aka high-level) than the other languages at the time. But now it's basically considered very slightly more abstract than machine code when compared to the much higher level high-level languages we have today.
Other way around, actually; C was one of several languages proposed to model UNIX without having to write assembly on every line, and has steadily increased in abstraction. Today, C is specified relative to a high-level abstract machine and doesn't really resemble any modern processing units' capabilities.
Incidentally, coming to understand this is precisely what the OP meme is about.
I once knew somebody who supposedly thought that ASM was high level.
