All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Without Documentation?

Post by Muazzam »

Can we write a fully functional operating system without seeing a single word of documentation? Have anyone written that? I think it is impossible.

Considering people would be required to have seen no formal explanation of C, assembly, toolchain, relevant library functions, and what operating systems are, and that for all of these, there do exist people have learned individual things of their own, I think it's impossible for statistical reasons only.
