That's the second time I've seen that phrase in this thread. What does dog fooding mean in this context? Is it that dogs will eat anything? I don't understand.

I just read Showstopper! published in 1994, and the term was used in that book referencing when the NT developers were directed to use Windows NT on their systems way early on in the dev landscape of NT.
