- jancsika 6y agoIn other words, you had one physical machine per platform, and at least one developer manually running each build on each platform. Or perhaps one developer per each if you've got an even bigger budget. I'm just imagining a quasi-Luddite hacker collective that eschews automation and does their own builds directly on the physical hardware to keep themselves "in touch with the hardware." That actually sounds pretty fun and social. Plus I wonder what the effect would be on catching regressions/issues before release compared to modern CI.
