Does Bill actually sit down and code?


Recommended Posts

...these days or does he just tell the other MS programmers what he wants? I was looking around on the MS website and just became curious.

And please, no stupid flames about Bill Gates, we've heard them all many times, so don't crap on my thread.

thats what i figured, even though it says on his website that he's Chief Software Architect, you would think that means he actually does some coding...

Architect = silly person with big hat telling everyone where to put the beams.

Coder = sad little sun-deprived person hidden away in cubicle, forced to follow the demands of Architect.

Ya, Billey doesn't do any coding. The last coding he probably did was Windows 95 and very little at that as well.

I'm sure however before anything is released he will look over it to make sure it's what he wants. Other than that though his coding days are over.

In an interview he said that he missed coding. He hasn't done any in quite a while. I'm sure he might occasionally do it as a hobby.

Bill Gates Job is to come up with ideas as .NET and begin to develop the software etc. He is constantly thinking about the future.

Haven't any of you seen the TV Movie of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs that came on like a year or 2 ago on TNT or TBS??? He basicly bought DOS from some guy and resold it at MSDOS and it doesn't stop there.

Yes he does sometimes, but less often, since he's got so many employer to do that for him and he just sit there in the office or in his home seeing them and spent time mostly with his family.

Eventually he can retire at his age.

Actually Win Bill is better, just think the meaning "Bill" isn't that familiar with everyday business ?

now when it comes to Bill Gates and Microsoft, Money DOES really matter :D.
