In my case it was gitprime. This is a software to stack rank based on git commits. Since good developers supposedly make lots of small commits, if someone makes too few, they are bad. Also bug fixes are penalized as “code churn”.

Exactly the same thing was being said about Java (the first of the C++ killers) back in 1990s. And yet C++ is still around. It is not that easy to kill it seems.

3.1 couldn’t run in real mode. It could run either in standard mode or in enhanced mode. The enhanced mode was 386-only. 3.0 on the other hand could run in real mode so it technically could be used with 8086.
