Once, I somehow got roped into writing a CGI application in C that I was supposed to write and test on a Linux system but that was going to run on a SunOS 4 system that I had no access to. That was...fun.
- giantrobot 3y agoI see many 500 errors in your past.
- marcus0x62 3y agoOnly after all the compile-time errors. The development process, such as it was, involved me writing and testing some part the program, then emailing it to someone (who had access to the sunos box) who would try to compile/run the program and who would email me back any errors, often several hours later. I recall imagining that what I was experiencing must have been similar to what early programmers submitting batch jobs went through. 0/10. Do not recommend.
