As someone who started by writing machine code (not assembly, bits - and in octal, which was the big thing back when we wrote code on stone with wooden chisels), I can say that's very true.
As someone who also cut his teeth writing code on 6502 and 68000 processors, I personally believe all programmers should have some experience writing machine code. Not for machismo or bragging rights, but simply because it gives you a different perspective on languages and runtimes in general. You understand a lot more how languages operate at a lower level and that makes you a better programmer when using high level languages.
