An OS, a compiler, any complete application. Or at least significant parts of it. And I mean programming from A to Z: defining, detailing, implementing, verifying, documenting.
Quite the hefty examples lmfao, holy hell. Guess all of us "regular" software engineers in the business are just plebs huh.
I've wrote my first pre-emptive multitasking OS as a teenager. I also wrote my first compiler back then. I've worked on everything from industrial controllers to a Cray YMP. And I've forgotten more programming languages than most hacker kids can list. I consider myself as a seasoned programmer.
