Re: OT: Working from home

I have fond memories of writing 1300 lines of code in one 12 hour day a few years back. This was a front end to a DOS version of RCS ( or something like RCS ) and it was for versioning an entire set of application code.

Written in a compiled language called 'Force'. It even worked when I was done, and was useful for a a few years.

It wasn't very well documented though...

Must be the hubris getting to me, it's a programmers disease. ;)
