My first job out of school was at Hewlet Packard Data Systems Division in Cupertino CA. Where I repaired 21MX computers. That machine was user micro programmable, you could add your own instructions on the fly. I met a guy going to Foothill College that had a homework assignment to add a string operation instruction to the 21MX and didn't have a clue. So I told him I would write the microcode but I would only give it to him if he could explain to me, after I tutored him, how it worked - each and every line of code. I wrote "professional quality code" that would take an interrupt in the middle of running and continue where it left off when the interrupt handler completed. The guy learned it well. He later told me he got an A+ with extra credit on the assignment. The instructor did ask him to explain it to the class and gave him the A+ for the code and extra credit for finding "the only guy in silicon valley who could have written that code". I think there were a few others who could have done it. But I got to tech more than one guy a dying art. In my career, I designed more than one micro coded machines, I even help with the processors that flew on the Galileo. It is sad that very few get to experience writing micro code.
