Listening to the audiobook of “The Innovators” (highly recommend) today and the story tells of how Bill Gates wrote Basic for the Altair on an 8080 emulator written by Paul Allen in 1974 . How is this feat of computer programming not a major legend in computing history? Surely Paul Allen writing this emulator is even more impressive than Bill writing basic?
