Raymond, who only has one name, like Rihanna, said:
I think Windows 95 went through three RAID databases during its life
Wait a minute...

Developers for windows '95 were using 8-Bit systems?

Jeeze, that explains So Much!

Raymond, who only has one name, like Madonna, said:
I liked to joke that we should just get rid of that middle tier. It’s always the one that’s causing problems.
As opposed to real life, where it's always the guys at the top and the guys at the bottom who cause all the problems, and us guys in the middle have to live with all their sh1t.

Raymond, who only has one name, like Cher, said:
Product Studio kept things going until Windows 8
But only as a makework, because the team had absolutely nothing to do -- very few bugs were ever reported for windows 8, because almost no-one ever used the PoC (no, that's not "Proof of Concept").

Oops!  Missed a bit.

Raymond, who only has one name, like Divine, said:
Product Studio kept things going until Windows 8, at which point Windows switched to on-premise Team Foundation Services for work item tracking
Because using cloud services provided by an external entity is just stupid, isn't it?

Raymond, who only has one name, like Fido, said:
Even Azure DevOps wasn’t big enough to contain all of the Windows work items.
That's because bugs are a cumulative thing.

The more of them you ignore and don't fix, the more of them you end up with.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
