Let's see (wow, is it 30 years already?)

- I worked on C code, it was nicely logically divided into libraries and folders and you could build one folder at a time to save time.

- I was still young and not exposed to processes but there were signs (paper signs) in the corridors about RAD (Rapid application development) and QA was a separate department, only my manager talked to them.

- Compensation was rather good and very few years afterwards it become even better

- WLB was non existent, but again I was young and didn't care

Things were simpler, I knew the code down to which bits the CPU flipped, debuggers used primitive DOS GUIs and source control was something we considered starting using.



it was nicely logically divided into libraries

Sounds nice, but don't you remember DLL hell?


Windows-only phenomenon.


WLB means?


In my opionion, WLB = work life balance


What they said, work life balance.


I assume Work-Life-Balance
