It certainly is so much easier to get documentation or read forum posts and ask questions today. Back then, we did have fairly decent dev systems though, could do breakpoints and examine code as it was running. It was also cross-development so you could edit and download from your computer onto the dev system attached to the console. To be fair, some people had much more primitive systems, I feel lucky since others could only test by burning EPROMs.

- noobermin 5y agoCould you qualify one thing? One that might help is code back then was almost always single threaded and thus easy to reason about. I mean, even today concurrent code is difficult to deal with.
- djmips 5y agoYes, in fact Assembler is the least abstract code and the easiest to reason about.
