- mads 10y agoSounds very dramatic and something a narcissist would come up with.
- pjscott 10y ago... Or someone who was understandably proud of having written a basic but serviceable filesystem on an airplane. Please at least consider the boring hypothesis.
- astrange 10y agoI'm surprised his battery lasted that long.
- mamon 10y agoI wouldn't be suprised if he had written the whole thing ON PAPER, and then just re-type it to a computer. Also, there is known story that Gates and Allen wrote BASIC compiler for some obscure microprocessor without having access to an actual thing, just paper spec. So they wrote emulator first, then compiler and guess what? when run on the real processor it worked like a charm from first try.
