    The guy started learning to program when he was 13 and had already written a lot of software and done a lot before Ms dos

    I tried to look up the IBM claim but couldn’t find anything.

    But, what has that got to do with exploitation?

    Or are you trying to argue he exploited IBM…

        I never said he wrote dos. They bought it from cpm if I recall

        I said he was a developer well before Ms dos

        He was a hard worker from the beginning. That’s why he was successful

          Nope. He was successful because of nepotism, a bit of luck, and being born into a position where he could apply what he was good at. Being a “hard worker” will only get you sick.
