I used to program in IBM S/370 Assembly language and then debug it by patching the object code in hexadecimal. That was back in the 80s, when we used to program them right down to the bare metal.I used to use PL/M-86 and burn the machine code into EPROMs. At least by the time I started using it, the code and compilers were on a $10K IBM 286 with 5.25 floppies instead of the IBM development system with the 8" floppies.
I also used to write self-modifying code in Assembler, that modified the object code at runtime.
