What was the development environment like for this code?
- sizzzzlerz 10y agoPencil, eraser, paper, Punchcards, punchcard machine, Punchcard reader, computer, papertape, papertape puncher, AGC computer, Command Module, LEM, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins. These last 3 are software QA.
- kamaal 10y agoWhen I worked on my start up, We built our complete hardware and then software for it. I had to write down the drivers, and display library for the 128 x 64 lcd display with a simple scheduler, FSM and all!(Hard to mention all the work) Bulk of the work I did was using paper, eraser and pens. A lot of work in unchartered territory requires paper work. I realized the more I worked on paper the more correct the code was and overall it took faster to write(given fewer bugs).

Her case is the only one I follow as I lack data on the rest.
