> Bill Gates does code reviews, not coding. That's just wrong: In 1983 Microsoft had revenues of $55 million and a headcount of 500. Bill was the CEO. And yet, according to Gates talking about the Tandy TRS-100, "part of my nostalgia about this machine is this was the last machine where I wrote a very high percentage of the code in the product. I did all the design and debugging along with Jey."[1]. Gates was CEO of a company of 500 with revenue of $55 million, and still producing large amounts of serious code. That's impressive (or misspent time, however you want to think about it.) [1] http://www.nausicaa.net/~lgreenf/bill.htm http://www.nausicaa.net/~lgreenf/bill.htm
