I like how the meeting minutes(1) from 1978 resemble software development meetings of today. Especially Paul (Laughton) did have the same mentality as programmers today:
Nobody who has looked into the DOS is sure why bug #2 exists
Paul felt that bug #3 was trivial and he already knew how to fix
it.
Paul said that he could spend either3 to 4 days documenting the DOS,
or he could fix the bugs, and wanted to know which we wanted.
Paul still expressed some doubt as to what was causing bug #5, and
bug #2 was a mystery.

- thearn4 13y agoNo kidding. You could replace "DOS" with "______", then fill in any software project, and it would sound pretty spot on.
