| His series on YouTube, Dave's Garage, has really helped me to conceptualize Operating Systems in the past that I used, but didn't really fully understand. I started with Atari DOS, but moved to the 286 roughly around the time it started to become popular, along with MS-DOS. I'm 45 now, so didn't think about things as deeply back then, as far as constraints and why things may have been built the way they were. I think his series really does a great job at looking into both technology and company politics (especially his time at Microsoft). https://youtu.be/xi1Lq79mLeE?feature=shared |

| That's Dave PLUMMER's channel. Dave CUTLER is the guest in that video. |

| ▲ | progmetaldev 20 hours ago | parent [-] | | You are correct, thank you. Dave Cutler has apparently done many guest spots on Dave's Garage, so many that I confused their names! Appreciate the correction, so I can perform some better searches of Dave Cutler, having only looked into the videos on YouTube. |

| Thanks, I think he did an interview of David Cutler which is pretty interesting. |

| ▲ | progmetaldev 20 hours ago | parent [-] | | Yes, lmz <https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=lmz> pointed out that I had mixed up Dave Plummer and Dave Cutler. There are actually multiple videos that Dave Plummer has done with Dave Cutler, which I found very interesting. Reminds me of Coders At Work, by Peter Seibel, which I read right around the time that I decided to get deeper into software. Being able to read or hear about the process that went on in someone's head while developing something so major was and is still impressive, and motivating. |
