    any complete application

    An OS, a compiler

    Quite the hefty examples lmfao, holy hell. Guess all of us “regular” software engineers in the business are just plebs huh.

      I’ve wrote my first pre-emptive multitasking OS as a teenager. I also wrote my first compiler back then. I’ve worked on everything from industrial controllers to a Cray YMP. And I’ve forgotten more programming languages than most hacker kids can list. I consider myself as a seasoned programmer.

        Right, you’re a little more than a seasoned programmer, buddy. You are extraordinary.

        You can’t expect “an operating system” or “a compiler” to be the bar for “doing anything ‘serious’” 😂
