I couldn't agree more. This is also the reason some programming languages eventually write their compiler in their own language. The phrase 'eating your own dog food' often gets used to describe the process.
- mschaef 8y agoThat phrase came to my mind as I was writing. My first exposure to the term came in the context of Dave Cutler's requirement that Windows NT developers 'eat their own dogfood'... so it's a little ironic to me that one of my big complaints about the MS BASIC PDS is that they seemingly didn't.
