Hearing about Bill Gates writing normal applications in his early career is inspiring. He wasn't JUST a genius who wrote machine code and built Windows on his first day as a software developer. He went through the same grimy steps as the rest of us.
Especially when his mom (who happened to sit on the IBM board) managed to get him the interview that lead to the MS-DOS contract, she also presented him to Warren Buffet. I am poor and stupid so the Steve Jobs story is more relatable to me than Gate's.
He did not write windows. He hired the guys from Xerox that wrote the drop down menus in which --Steve Jobs stole to make the Mac. At least Steve Jobs guys figured it out on their own Bill Gates just hired the OG from Xerox and the wrote it on top of DOS.
Yeah working microprocessors at 15 with some years preciously careeer...even he when he stated that didn’t believed it and it’s obvious if you look him.Microprocessors from intel came in 1971 which means you couldn’t have at least in that system all the required information in order to use it and especially a kid under 15 as he said.
man, not only did he have to learn how to make a payroll system at 15 but he also had to learn how taxes worked at multiple levels to make the system work as needed. that's some crazy stuff
Brains,... and the will to succeed, no matter what. I always hate how many people see Bill Gates as this overnight millionaire who basically got lucky with Windows. It couldn't be farther from the truth. Yes, Microsoft made him a lot of money but he is super-smart and worked his ass off day and night to get where he is.

Remember he told at age 13-17 he started programming. I am 27 now, when I was 13 I had never seen one until I started engineering at age 19. That's sad about us that when we start exploring, we don't have resources, but definitely I will make sure my kids gets all the facilities which I didn't had during my childhood days.
Not necessarily the resources, like the other person said.. books were always available but in this life not everyone can be super smart, ambitious, skillful, etc. specially at an early age.. so I believe Destiny comes into play with our lives and at this point all we can do is provide our kids the support/advice that we never had.
He didn't have a computer at home either :) There's a big difference between waiting for an opportunity to come around and going stalking opportunities through dark alleys.
i really like that Bill Gates shares his memories with us, it's fun to hear about and there is at lot to learn. I got into IT by accident and i have allways loved the work and all the fun and surprises. Yes you have to put in hard work, but it is rewarding too....not in money allways but in fun memories.
A reason I'd get into any coding is the funny things you can run into during creating a project. Especially with web or game development, So many funny things can happen and you can have lots of fun working on projects when you least expect it.

This was when the second richest man in the world was hustling. I'm still a PC guy because of him although I use more Linux for everyday use. I cam right after mini computers, DOS, and text command software. Remember Word Perfect in the early days?
Some of us have seen Accidental Empires and we know Bill Gates had no vision to how important DOS would be to Microsoft. He turned down IBM two times and put "Big Blue" in touch with the developer of CP/M to build an OS for their PC. When IBM came calling a third time, Microsoft didn't build an OS for IBM; they purchased QDOS renamed it 86-DOS and licensed it to IBM where it became PC DOS 1.0.
Of cause he's a Genius. A Genius brain 🧠 works faster than a normal human brain; they learn to read in the earliest age, they wiser in many ways, etc. their iq is higher, too.

Uninstalling and pausing the bloatware makes windows 10 fairly fast. The need to increase profits is where it went wrong, but still the best operating system out
DR Dos was kicking MS's ass with Dos so it went downhill for MS when they made Windows 95 that combines the Windows GUI and the Dos under layer. ( started the problems for Windows in general ) It has been bloated ever since. I wish I had been born 5-7 years earlier, I was all in to computers in the early 80's, just a few years late to the game.
@Peter Lustig FYI Gates made a bet with Paul Allen back in the day on who could write the shortest bootloader for the MITS Altair hardware. They wrote in 8080 machine language. Gates won.
@@streamx2 Name something Bill Gates has written in the last decade? Or since the 90s. I fully agree he used to be a programmer. but I hadn't heard about anything he's written in ages.
I have 18 years of IT experience . I heard with rapt attention. I wanted to see where is missed. Now i know it was Interest in tech, Persistence, Programming and outlook not for money but towards learning .
Back in high school when my teachers used to make me find the value of “x” I never understood why or what the purpose was but when I took a college class the teacher took the time to tell me “that’s the beauty of this it can mean anything” he then proceeded to give examples and next class I had was web design and it lead me on to have an interest in programming.
This is great, showing the human side of himself who also came from humble beginnings. It makes me feel better that even he admits that he had superiors and wasn't just some unmatched god programmer.
Most surprising to me was that programing was way harder to write these program back then. It was in Assembly. I’m baffled that people were able to do these things at all.
Studying Computer Science in his time was REALLY HARD there was no internet and you have to go to the library and besides that, the Assembly language was in early-stage you have to translate it in human-readable I took Assembly before it was full of codes that are not human-readable. Image his life back then how tough learning programming was! awful indeed, trial and error
assembly is not hard it is actually fairly simple. you just need to memorizing the various instructions, addressing modes, have some knowledge about the CPU and its registers.it is tedious work but by no means "really hard". stop talking out off your ass
There are many problems with America, but what I love about it was the opportunity. There was a computer that Bill and his friends could use to do what they loved. But people were not going to just give them use of it. They needed to barter, negotiate and trade things for the use of it. If they were willing to put in the work, then they could achieve whatever they want.
Someone so phenomenal that he won’t say his name ? Might be not a person but a group .... the BAIN & company ... that got him where he is, If it were not for his family ties and connections ... this man would be less than ordinary ... check out his past and you will understand how manipulated we are when we are only told what THEY want us to know.....
allen and gates seem a bit like jobs and wozniak, in that he describes paul allen as supplying a lot of the vision, whereas gates' strength was in the execution and details of the programming......
Paul Allen did the real leg work for Atair BASIC. Not only did he have to write the assembly code, but he had to write the emulation software for the PDP-10 minicomputer which was used as a developer environment. Sure, Gates got good at BASIC but that's not a particularly challenging language, try it. This is not to say that Gates isn't an intelligent man but I do request reconsidering and looking a bit more deeply before considering him to be a top programer on the whole. Top business man, sure. That cannot be denied.
Back in the day, all of the source code was available on microfiche. Most people didn't have fiche readers and they probably just threw it out, so I actually believe it is true that Bill got it from the trash. I read a lot of the VAX/VMS microfiche and learned a ton from it. I recall finding a problem in their YPDRIVER which caused VT220 terminals to crash in DMA mode. A BBS (Branch Bit Set) should have been a BBC (Branch Bit Clear), or vice versa. I patched the EXE and rebooted the operating system: problem solved. I reported it to DEC and they said it was really rare to get patches like this from end-users. Nice to know I was in good company with Bill and Paul. I guess I should have kept programming. By the way Windows NT (WNT) = VMS+1 (add one letter to V, M, and S to get W N T). Go look up Dave Cutler.
GATES talking about how phenomenal he was in programming at 16 and here is me, can't even write a program to solve a fibonacci series at the age of 26 :p
@tiny5384 Ya good call. Telling the story how he saved the Day beating out the older guys Paul Allan and he did most of the work. I like how he takes credit for getting the contract too. Im sure his Lawyer dad had nothing to do with setting up the contract.
He wasn't a good programmer, this is all exaggeration. Bill gates is good at BS, selling himself and making money, nothing else. Microsoft got rich because of dirty tricks, stealing other people code and luck. The only thing Gates is good at is making money by conning and stealing. Dishonest, stupid pig is what he is. All good programmers who know the real Microsoft story know this, but you won't read it anywhere because the only thing that's worshiped in America is money.
1:23 this is why "You need experience before you can get experience" is a joke. Here Bill was, 15-16, and was able to do what adults couldn't really manage to do themselves.
At the time DEC-PDP computers and the Fortran programming language were quite popular. Bill talks about using BASIC, FORTRAN, LISP and PDP-10 assembler at school. Later on he also programmed in COBOL for Traf-O-Data on the CP/M operating system. americanhistory.si.edu/comphist/gates.htm#tc2 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates#Early_life
Instructions to get this into your recommendations...watch a couple shark tank videos, then Kevin O'Leary videos, then Mark Cuban videos, then wham you are into the billionaire recommendations...
When he mentioned he was 15-16 during this, I was pretty astounded. But then I remembered, I too was pretty freaking good at programming when I was 16. In school, they had me and my good friend who was also skilled do programming tests separately from the others so that we wouldn't assist them. I had already made programs that I sold, one of them to a hospital. But 8 years later, even as I went to college (now graduating) and kept improving my skills, the grand total of money I made programming is still under $500. I can't get a programming job here in Serbia; like other well-paying jobs, it's a good old boys' gig and I don't have any good connections. I would prefer to work by myself anyway, I kind of like being the starving programmer working on my own projects and open source stuff. But a man's gotta eat...
Bill trained himself to be a businessman and negotiator, so these are his advantages than other programmers at his time. If anybody can learn computer programming but the one who knows business is destined to be successful, the rest will just be employees until they retire.
I am surprised these companies would just go to two high school kids instead of asking McKinsey. Nowadays companies would go find consultants to solve intractable problems.
In my opinion, that guy 11:10 is what made Gates. Constructive criticism of young genius can be dangerous but if the kid is REALLY smart and "gets" it well, the sky is the limit. Clearly worked for Mr. Gates.
Jules A to be fair, the programming languages have evolved A L O T since then. Many new complicated features that make things easier and faster have been added
I think his first commercial program was called something like TRAF-O-MATIC for monitoring traffic at intersections. He never invented the MS DOS operating system. He bought it from some schnook for $50,000 and slapped the Microsoft label on it.
It is very nice to hear & see. Bill Gates speak about his younger years. Knowing he knew. How smart Mr Gates and his friends were at such a young age. Understanding himself and friends were coding better than any one else. 🙏👍❤️🤍💙💜 GREAT JOB!!!! 😊
He lived in a time where the market was completely empty and not dominated. Back then it was much more easy to make a value and service stand out with any useful software. It's not impossible today, but takes a damn lot more effort.
@JuanRamonSilva I mean think of it, back then you used to need to trust the word of the papers or local library. By the time you receive the Information from the public library, the business already took off. Now at the click of a button everyone can see the documents publicly of the USPTO. I can promise you there out of every million people there are a few who just make a living off researching imerging tech, especially in Software at big Corps to find the gaps in their competitors (your) legal protections of Software developed. They find a Crack in your legal protection and that would inhibit your growth as a company. This is where it's described in marketing terms as "first to market wins". Hypothetically if you were to try make an identical Bill Gates born today.. Let's say he built a custom operating system.. Is he the same intellect of the Bill Gates from the 80s? Probably not considering how much more he'd need to know to operate a thriving product and service to the market. With Linux existing, and Mac, and Windows.. Bill Gates wouldn't even make it to a 5M dollar company maxing out all angel investors. Why? Because the market would already be saturated with ample supply and competition when comparing. Don't get me wrong the iconic success stores we all know have common habits with each other. I'm just saying the level of skill and knowledge one must have today is much more demanding to have any noteworthy success. It's just misleading when it's represented as these individuals being of more intellect than others. This may be true to some degree generally speaking, but there's other outside factors of them jumping at opportunities perfect for their specific erra. Almost like catching the perfect wave when surfing. You can't control the ocean, but to catch the perfect wave you have to be prepared for it... and take the risk when it presents itself.

Edit: I just felt that I could share this here. Thank you for reading if you did.
Awesome MR GxxG it was very inspiring man👏👏👏👏👏
pursue it again man
@@stannisbarracuda5693 Now I have work + collage. I can't really find much time. But I still work on a fun 'Robots fight' project I started along time ago. only on vacations tho.
i really hope i dont end up like you i dont want to leave coding
im in the same situation i dont even have a pc i learned coding on qpython and later when i got a net connection i started using kaggle and collab from my phone i have made some applications such as machine translation, sentiment analysis , text generation and question answering systems and tried to replicate a few papers but apparently nobody gives a shit

Well this project is over, let's get rid of him 😂
Remember he told at age 13-17 he started programming. I am 27 now, when I was 13 I had never seen one until I started engineering at age 19. That's sad about us that when we start exploring, we don't have resources, but definitely I will make sure my kids gets all the facilities which I didn't had during my childhood days.
Not necessarily the resources, like the other person said.. books were always available but in this life not everyone can be super smart, ambitious, skillful, etc. specially at an early age.. so I believe Destiny comes into play with our lives and at this point all we can do is provide our kids the support/advice that we never had.
I started programming when I was 14. I didn't even have access to a computer. I basically did my brothers homework.
Same here. Quite unfortunate we weren't exposed to these at the very young age.
He didn't have a computer at home either :) There's a big difference between waiting for an opportunity to come around and going stalking opportunities through dark alleys.
@@LuaanTi exactly! Gates succeeded not because he HAD computers, but because he actively seek those opportunities like no tomorrow.

Read the book Hard Drive, a fascinating biography which goes into a lot of detail from Bills early career
Karlbooklover
I have read it, it’s a good book. The idea man by Paul Allen is better
i really like that Bill Gates shares his memories with us, it's fun to hear about and there is at lot to learn. I got into IT by accident and i have allways loved the work and all the fun and surprises. Yes you have to put in hard work, but it is rewarding too....not in money allways but in fun memories.
A reason I'd get into any coding is the funny things you can run into during creating a project.
Especially with web or game development, So many funny things can happen and you can have lots of fun working on projects when you least expect it.
This guy seems intelligent 🧠 he seems to have enough skills to start a business
Don’t think that Gates was just an Okay programmer. He was head and shoulders above.
Hey uncle bill i wanna sale out my phone just 5000 pice but i just wanna to know how to set mian board center to use app togther like open sever icq and use the pin like bb if dont have internet but just middle set to conrect it together .it hard for me?just open sever 5000 piont?
If he saw this he'd answer that question for you for sure but the odds of him seeing are about none!
Thanks, Bill. A valuable story to hear.
This was when the second richest man in the world was hustling. I'm still a PC guy because of him although I use more Linux for everyday use. I cam right after mini computers, DOS, and text command software. Remember Word Perfect in the early days?
It's good for him to have a friend who shares the same interest. Unlike me, none of my friends know shits about computer other than typing in word 😞
sm here:D
Probably you can be the next famous peogrammer 🔥
that's so fascinating even in 1964 schools had terrible funding and had to have students code THEIR PAYROLL AND SCHEDULING!!!
Funny, but the payroll thing was another company, not their school
Well, they could have had a second-rate programmer from the employee's union, or they could have had Gates & Allen. Good move.
Some of us have seen Accidental Empires and we know Bill Gates had no vision to how important DOS would be to Microsoft. He turned down IBM two times and put "Big Blue" in touch with the developer of CP/M to build an OS for their PC. When IBM came calling a third time, Microsoft didn't build an OS for IBM; they purchased QDOS renamed it 86-DOS and licensed it to IBM where it became PC DOS 1.0.
Sure he bought DOS but I think it is silly to believe everything that happened after that point was accidental.
Lesson to learn from this is that having an experienced person critique your work will advance your ability way more than any other learning resource.
True, watched an artist talk about having other artists critique his paintings and then going back to work on the weak points of his technique
Wow, he’s so much more brilliant and well off than I could’ve ever imagined at the same age.
Of cause he's a Genius. A Genius brain 🧠 works faster than a normal human brain; they learn to read in the earliest age, they wiser in many ways, etc. their iq is higher, too.
Mann if you think about it all these geniuses came out decades ago. Can’t image how cool it would be to live in that era
That "small obscure article" at around 5:00 had a prominent pic on the front cover of Pop Tronics, Popular Electronics, and was the lead article inside. Everybody and his brother had been waiting for months for it to happen.
0:29 "How can you make it fast, how can you make it small".... Bill, go back, something went wrong with Windows.
Slow and large Windows 10 ahahahahahahaha
Nice comment.
Uninstalling and pausing the bloatware makes windows 10 fairly fast. The need to increase profits is where it went wrong, but still the best operating system out
@@panblacksolutions only if you ignore how much of a threat linux is to windows.
DR Dos was kicking MS's ass with Dos so it went downhill for MS when they made Windows 95 that combines the Windows GUI and the Dos under layer. ( started the problems for Windows in general ) It has been bloated ever since. I wish I had been born 5-7 years earlier, I was all in to computers in the early 80's, just a few years late to the game.
And my programming skills are basically "Hello World"
@Peter Lustig He is a programmer and still writes programs.
@Peter Lustig he.. is.. tho..
@Peter Lustig FYI Gates made a bet with Paul Allen back in the day on who could write the shortest bootloader for the MITS Altair hardware. They wrote in 8080 machine language. Gates won.
@@streamx2 Name something Bill Gates has written in the last decade? Or since the 90s.
I fully agree he used to be a programmer. but I hadn't heard about anything he's written in ages.
@Peter Lustig your trolling has no power here
I have 18 years of IT experience .
I heard with rapt attention.
I wanted to see where is missed.
Now i know it was Interest in tech, Persistence, Programming and outlook not for money but towards learning .
About fixging product new i use unstill around 1 year ago . and old .3d i draw it around 6 or 7 year ago . what do you think .it weasting my time .
Back in high school when my teachers used to make me find the value of “x” I never understood why or what the purpose was but when I took a college class the teacher took the time to tell me “that’s the beauty of this it can mean anything” he then proceeded to give examples and next class I had was web design and it lead me on to have an interest in programming.
You ain’t injecting me with anything mister!
This is great, showing the human side of himself who also came from humble beginnings. It makes me feel better that even he admits that he had superiors and wasn't just some unmatched god programmer.
It’s jaw dropping that’s this camera quality existed in 2010, no idea why we don’t see this quality often after a decade, I’m just flabbergasted.
"set a precedent for future activities", oh if they knew
yes
It's amazing how things lead you in the right path, I mean the company helping you are the other one.Anz Paul Allen is very good too
Most surprising to me was that programing was way harder to write these program back then. It was in Assembly. I’m baffled that people were able to do these things at all.
He still remembers everything precisely @6:23
He most likely making it up
Studying Computer Science in his time was REALLY HARD there was no internet and you have to go to the library and besides that, the Assembly language was in early-stage you have to translate it in human-readable I took Assembly before it was full of codes that are not human-readable. Image his life back then how tough learning programming was! awful indeed, trial and error
assembly is not hard it is actually fairly simple. you just need to memorizing the various instructions, addressing modes, have some knowledge about the CPU and its registers.it is tedious work but by no means "really hard". stop talking out off your ass
It can be said, there was less distractions
There are many problems with America, but what I love about it was the opportunity. There was a computer that Bill and his friends could use to do what they loved. But people were not going to just give them use of it. They needed to barter, negotiate and trade things for the use of it. If they were willing to put in the work, then they could achieve whatever they want.
This is wonderful first computer was DEC VMS for myself
I want to know about the man Bill is speaking of at 11:04
I know right... It makes you realize that talent alone won't make u billions
Might be Steve Jobs (I know that's a long shot. Or basically impossible)
@@ingelegenial lol. steve jobs ain't that older than bill. Bill said that this guy was much older than him.
@@ingelegenial Steve Jobs wasn't a programmer, and they're the same age.

Might be not a person but a group .... the BAIN & company ... that got him where he is, If it were not for his family ties and connections ... this man would be less than ordinary ... check out his past and you will understand how manipulated we are when we are only told what THEY want us to know.....
In high school I didn't even have a computer.
Time yang ngai cub kun r?
allen and gates seem a bit like jobs and wozniak, in that he describes paul allen as supplying a lot of the vision, whereas gates' strength was in the execution and details of the programming......
I could listen to his whole life story. he is an inspiration to me and many other programmers.
Paul Allen did the real leg work for Atair BASIC. Not only did he have to write the assembly code, but he had to write the emulation software for the PDP-10 minicomputer which was used as a developer environment.
Sure, Gates got good at BASIC but that's not a particularly challenging language, try it.
This is not to say that Gates isn't an intelligent man but I do request reconsidering and looking a bit more deeply before considering him to be a top programer on the whole. Top business man, sure. That cannot be denied.
People who go far in life tend to be people who don't shy away from doing a lot of work.

Born in 1956 age today 63 years old
Back in the day I was so fascinated with Bill Gates. This was in the late 90’s to mid 2000’s. When I was college my interest peaked. Now not so much.
All the information he knew were from books.
"got the source code of the operating system out of the garbage can" what a magical man
I dont believe
He got the DEC operating system out of a garbage can, That explains why MS DOS is a direct copy of the DEC operating system Tops 10.
Back in the day, all of the source code was available on microfiche. Most people didn't have fiche readers and they probably just threw it out, so I actually believe it is true that Bill got it from the trash. I read a lot of the VAX/VMS microfiche and learned a ton from it. I recall finding a problem in their YPDRIVER which caused VT220 terminals to crash in DMA mode. A BBS (Branch Bit Set) should have been a BBC (Branch Bit Clear), or vice versa. I patched the EXE and rebooted the operating system: problem solved. I reported it to DEC and they said it was really rare to get patches like this from end-users. Nice to know I was in good company with Bill and Paul. I guess I should have kept programming. By the way Windows NT (WNT) = VMS+1 (add one letter to V, M, and S to get W N T). Go look up Dave Cutler.
@@davevaebutuoy Mindblowing
GATES talking about how phenomenal he was in programming at 16 and here is me, can't even write a program to solve a fibonacci series at the age of 26 :p
Was it BASIC programming, for the school scheduling software?
You can see in his face that he's so proud of what he did and how mad he made some people when he was younger 😄
@tiny5384 Ya good call. Telling the story how he saved the Day beating out the older guys Paul Allan and he did most of the work. I like how he takes credit for getting the contract too. Im sure his Lawyer dad had nothing to do with setting up the contract.

I read about this in "Fire In The Valley" 2014
I need some motivation to study, yet i wonder whether this video will give me some motivation to study...
Bill Gates: Changes the world with code.
Also Bill Gates: We were "pretty good" programmers.
I love the modesty.
He wasn't a good programmer, this is all exaggeration. Bill gates is good at BS, selling himself and making money, nothing else. Microsoft got rich because of dirty tricks, stealing other people code and luck. The only thing Gates is good at is making money by conning and stealing. Dishonest, stupid pig is what he is. All good programmers who know the real Microsoft story know this, but you won't read it anywhere because the only thing that's worshiped in America is money.
@@fredjimbob2962 okay. And?
1:23 this is why "You need experience before you can get experience" is a joke. Here Bill was, 15-16, and was able to do what adults couldn't really manage to do themselves.
I never heard that in my life.
Computer programming was so new at the time, there weren't comp Sci majors
I wish it was longer
What was the tech stack?
At the time DEC-PDP computers and the Fortran programming language were quite popular. Bill talks about using BASIC, FORTRAN, LISP and PDP-10 assembler at school. Later on he also programmed in COBOL for Traf-O-Data on the CP/M operating system.

Instructions to get this into your recommendations...watch a couple shark tank videos, then Kevin O'Leary videos, then Mark Cuban videos, then wham you are into the billionaire recommendations...
I used to watch videos about poor people, but I've come up in the world, and now I only watch videos about billionaires.
When he mentioned he was 15-16 during this, I was pretty astounded. But then I remembered, I too was pretty freaking good at programming when I was 16. In school, they had me and my good friend who was also skilled do programming tests separately from the others so that we wouldn't assist them. I had already made programs that I sold, one of them to a hospital.
But 8 years later, even as I went to college (now graduating) and kept improving my skills, the grand total of money I made programming is still under $500. I can't get a programming job here in Serbia; like other well-paying jobs, it's a good old boys' gig and I don't have any good connections. I would prefer to work by myself anyway, I kind of like being the starving programmer working on my own projects and open source stuff. But a man's gotta eat...
Note guys those werent the times whre you could just copy errything off of stack overflow
I don't think I've ever heard his voice before
Bill trained himself to be a businessman and negotiator, so these are his advantages than other programmers at his time. If anybody can learn computer programming but the one who knows business is destined to be successful, the rest will just be employees until they retire.
so, you're businessman which still needs to learn programming?
First he gave us windows, now he gave us corona.
I am surprised these companies would just go to two high school kids instead of asking McKinsey. Nowadays companies would go find consultants to solve intractable problems.
In my opinion, that guy 11:10 is what made Gates. Constructive criticism of young genius can be dangerous but if the kid is REALLY smart and "gets" it well, the sky is the limit. Clearly worked for Mr. Gates.
10:50 We got Jobs
this guy is lucky he existed at the right period and with the right knowledge !
thug bolt no such thing man don’t give out excuses out here wtf is “the right period & with the right knowledge? “
And the in have to rerate with the bank coss i gonna test the money ba system.did you get idea.?
First I thought he looked younger than before, his skin has improved. Then I saw the description it's from 2010.
Sadly he's looking kinda old now
All this without the internet, that we have today. Nowadays, to every challenge programmers face, they go to Stackoverflow.
Jules A to be fair, the programming languages have evolved A L O T since then. Many new complicated features that make things easier and faster have been added
11:00 ~ where are those people, what became of them?
Probably ended up working for him or got some other high position because of their legendary skills.
I personally can't stand programming, but not because it's hard. What he achieved is amazing though
I think his first commercial program was called something like TRAF-O-MATIC for monitoring traffic at intersections. He never invented the MS DOS operating system. He bought it from some schnook for $50,000 and slapped the Microsoft label on it.
we're literally listening to the history that shape the last 30 years of mankind. weow.
LITERALLY 30 YEARS OF HUMAN-KIND, DAMMN
Indeed. But his greatest moment was the shotgun in the trenchcoat Windows 95 "Doom" promotion!
45 years
I bet nobody has ever said this before about Bill Gates, but I think his tan looks great.
no homo
I wonder if he can tell a story how he got a deal with IBM, that would be interesting to understand.
I still have my Windows 95 install discs and my old pc I’m never getting arid of it I like Windows 95
This guy is really smart, he should start a company or something idk
Fascinating. Need more.
It is very nice to hear & see. Bill Gates speak about his younger years. Knowing he knew. How smart Mr Gates and his friends were at such a young age. Understanding himself and friends were coding better than any one else. 🙏👍❤️🤍💙💜
GREAT JOB!!!! 😊
He lived in a time where the market was completely empty and not dominated. Back then it was much more easy to make a value and service stand out with any useful software. It's not impossible today, but takes a damn lot more effort.
@JuanRamonSilva I mean think of it, back then you used to need to trust the word of the papers or local library. By the time you receive the Information from the public library, the business already took off.
Now at the click of a button everyone can see the documents publicly of the USPTO. I can promise you there out of every million people there are a few who just make a living off researching imerging tech, especially in Software at big Corps to find the gaps in their competitors (your) legal protections of Software developed. They find a Crack in your legal protection and that would inhibit your growth as a company.
This is where it's described in marketing terms as "first to market wins".
Hypothetically if you were to try make an identical Bill Gates born today.. Let's say he built a custom operating system..
Is he the same intellect of the Bill Gates from the 80s? Probably not considering how much more he'd need to know to operate a thriving product and service to the market.
With Linux existing, and Mac, and Windows.. Bill Gates wouldn't even make it to a 5M dollar company maxing out all angel investors. Why? Because the market would already be saturated with ample supply and competition when comparing.
Don't get me wrong the iconic success stores we all know have common habits with each other. I'm just saying the level of skill and knowledge one must have today is much more demanding to have any noteworthy success.
It's just misleading when it's represented as these individuals being of more intellect than others. This may be true to some degree generally speaking, but there's other outside factors of them jumping at opportunities perfect for their specific erra.
Almost like catching the perfect wave when surfing. You can't control the ocean, but to catch the perfect wave you have to be prepared for it... and take the risk when it presents itself.
why all the companies when bankrupt?
