Dave is a treasure. Discovered his channel a couple years ago with his fire fans code for the ESP32 and the GIM fans. Thanks for sharing.

Dave is a legend. In the late 90s/early 00s, we used to joke about the initials for Windows CE, ME & NT: "CEMENT".

love the honesty. I'm not as old as Dave, but I've been working as a software engineer for 25 years. It's so true the first version "we don't know" what the code needs to be. You're lucky if you get to the third version. Today it's more common to have moved to some other project and someone else is rewriting it. One reason I love doing open source work, I get to go back and clean things up. When I get to delete code to cleanup/simplify, it feels great.

Programmer since 1970, now retired. I was always working on embedded systems, but like Dave I stuck to the code and avoided several offers to go into management. Started on an IBM 360, but moved to microprocessors as soon as they became available. Started with a 6502, and my last processor was a 256-core AI chip. I also enjoyed custom chip verification before they went to the foundry. I was actually one of the first Commodore 64 users, because they sent me a prototype (called the VIC-40 at the time), so I could write a book on it that went beyond writing aps in BASIC. Fun times.

This is so my era too. My MCSE was in NT4 too and seen Dave on his channel discussing some of the integral Windows tools in the past. Great guest and collab!

Dave is a great guy and a legend. Like Dave, I've been coding since I bought my first Apple II in 1979. I am 76 now, and have taken on coding in Python. I'm currently working on a game and it is teaching me a lot. Love coding. It keeps your mind young.

Writing a task manager helps one learn internals. Back in '75-'76, writing a view into IBM VS1's job queue, running jobs, and output queue taught me a lot about VS1's internals. Later updated it for MVS and a view into TCAM's internal control blocks. This upset operations when the programmers saw what was or more importantly, why their jobs were sitting in the job queue while other jobs were jumping in ahead of theirs.

Haha...my very first experience with computers was when I was told by my mom I MUST take Computer Class as an elective (she was hoping I'd get into IT, which I was uninterested at the time...bad move on my part). Thus, the very first program that existed I learned with MS DOS which existed LONG before Windows did. Thank you for inventing the Task Manager! Super handy! We've come a long ways from DOS!
