Development Environment Summary
NT 3.1
- Fast and loose development, lots of fun, lots of energy
- Few barriers to getting your work done
- Defects serialized parts of the process, but didn’t stop the whole machine, minimal down time
Windows 2000
- Source code control system bursting at the seams
- Excessive process management serialized the entire development process, 1 defect stops 1400 devs, 5000 team members!
- Resources required to build a complete instance of NT were excessive giving few developers a way to be successful
