Now, what would happen if C9 hero Erik Meijer interviewed Larry? Well, you'd get the latest episode of Checking In and one heck of a conversation. Oh yeah. Make yourself comfortable, grab a beer, some egg nog or whatever you like to drink, sit back, relax and enjoy this truly fascinating conversation as though you were in the room with us - classic C9.Larry's been at Microsoft for over 26 years and he's been a software developer (SDE) for almost all of this time (he dabbled in management briefly, but writing software is what he really loves to do). He's well known for his work on the Windows audio subsystem. But what else has Larry worked on over the years? How did he land at Microsoft? What's his story? We cover several topics ranging from STL to Larry's Microsoft job interview with Steve Ballmer. If you know Larry or have seen any of his other Channel 9 interviews over the years, you know that he's full of great stories and delivers them in a way that only he can. It's Larry time on C9. Thank you Larry and Erik for this conversational treat!Happy holidays from Channel 9 wherever you are and whatever, if anything, you're celebrating! en Wed, 22 May 2013 09:03:46 GMT Wed, 22 May 2013 09:03:46 GMT Rev9 Re: Checking In: Larry Osterman - 26 Years of Programming at Microsoft and Counting Charles Torre ....

Any chance of interviewing an other long timer and msdn blog legend Raymond Chen? I don't think he has ever featured on channel9.

I am always struck by how many engineers, experienced engineers, do not follow this. Their code becomes so obfuscated from these micro optimizations that it becomes a nightmare to maintain and change.

Also necessary is the tooling to assist you in reasoning about programs like strong type systems, and / or code contracts. Especially powerful are languages that make it easy to build analysis tools for them (such as DSLs with s-expressions or XML). And yes, then there's unit tests and integration tests. So I guess there's six keys... at least Smiley

Refactoring toward this implementation model over time should help get the complexity under control. But for large code bases, it take years and a complete organization and engineering team commitment over that whole period. That seems to be the hard part.

EDIT: Oh, and you also have to tool up for all of it, in terms of build systems and core competencies. I can see why organizations get stuck with legacy implementation models... Phew.

Going on from the very brief discussion of COM at the end there, would it be possible for a future C9 video to look at COM?

Have you seen Jim Springfield's conversation on ATL, which necessarily involves COM? http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/C9-GoingNative/GoingNative-4-Jim-Springfield-on-ATL-GoingNative-Conference-Register-Today

A deep dive into COM itself would be great, I agree. Let's see what we can do Wink

Why are you so surprised at the prevalence of C# and the CLR in Windows? Do you feel that only native code is up to the task of providing the performance and capabilities needed?

Are you kidding me? Why is Windows NOT DOCUMENTED? If a collaborative effort were initiated by the minds of everyone who knows a piece of this OS, there could be some intelligence drawn from it that was RECORDED.

Now I know why Windows has been so damn unpredictable and unreliable in times past; and I suspect if Windows isn't documented it's not a mental leap to believe that neither are any of the Windows Office apps nor is Visual Studio which, for me as a developer who uses VS, is scarey as hell.

While it is impressive that daily builds of windows occurs, why then, if that feat can be achieved, a documentation process can't also be instituted?

Of course Windows is documented - perhaps moreso now than ever before thanks to the Consent Decree & EU settlements Wink

In fact, the original Windows NT design docs written by Cutler et al were actually donated to the Smithsonian!

What you don't understand is just how big Windows is. It's approaching 100M lines of code these days. It includes the Kernel (HAL, memory manager, DMA & interrupt handling mechanisms, drivers, DRM, etc.), Win32, GDI, User, System, RPC, COM, DCOM, COM+, ActiveX, DirectX, ADO, FAT/NTFS, the Windows shell (Explorer, control panel, etc), WMI, Powershell, IE, WiFi and networking infrastructure, tools and applets, SMB (the docs for this one feature alone are 500 pages long!), Registry, Hyper-V, Active Driectory, ADFS, CLR & .NET, and so on and so on. Want a taste of how complex this all is? Go read MSDN or the Windows Server protocol specs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg258393(v=prot.13).aspx">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg258393(v=prot.13).aspx

No one human being could possibly remember all public API's (and their parameters and return types) and what they do, let alone understand the enormous complexities that exist throughout the inner workings of the entire OS.

I went to my local library and checked out "Writing Efficient Programs" - can't wait to see how it still applies.

I was SO glad EriK asked about the TeXBook. It was disappointing that Larry only worked with it for a summer though - TeX is a mind blow.

I suspect Erik is a TeX freak - am I right? Maybe he'd do a deep dive on it Smiley

There are people who know everything about how the filesystems and I/O subsystem work (and a lot about how memory management and the kernel scheduler works), but I seriously doubt they understand deeply how the display driver infrastructure works with the internals of GDI, User and DWM. 

It's simply to big for one person to comprehend.

This is why have extensive internal documentation about the interactions between the various subsystems.  Of course the quality and accuracy of that documentation varies from component to component but in general, it's good enough.  And of course there are area experts that are well known within the Windows team - you've met several of them here on C9 (Arun Kishan and Landy Wang come to mind immediately).

I'm a young dev who grew up learning the ways of the Force on the DOS/Windows family of products so this provided a lot of good, insightful history for me.

Know your past so that you may lead others into the future.
