I think you mean Ken Thompson. I can't be bothered searching through youtube interviews but I'm pretty shure that on more than one occasion, he tells a story something along the lines of having a disk driver, some programs, and maybe some other components. His wife went on a trip and he figured it would be enough time to fill in the gaps and make a complete OS.
- jasone 2y agoI'm pretty sure that is mentioned in this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqI7MrtxPnk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqI7MrtxPnk By the way the CHM oral history video series is full of gems.
- mtillman 2y agoYes. But it is written in no edit stone now. I’m sorry for the future google searches in which this received top billing instead of Ken Thompson’s name.
