He wasn’t even supposed to write task manager. He just made it because he wanted it to help test other features.

He made a post on reddit like five years ago, doing a brain dump on various features and stuff.

He wrote task manager and get this: It‘s also the guy who wrote task manager. Did I mention he wrote task manager?
I like Dave’s videos, always has treasure or two hidden in them

I aspire to one day be as knowledgeable and well-rounded in computing as he.
I don’t feel like watching a video… Can anyone summarize the “secrets”?
- redhorsejacket@lemmy.worldEnglish4 months
Sorry man, I’m not knowledgeable enough about computers to provide a summary, but I’ll mention this fun tidbit: apparently, the shipped version of task manager contained thus guy’s home phone number in the code by accident. He commented it out, but left the phone number in there, which means he can find instances of the source code being hosted online by reverse searching his home phone. Which is still a number he maintains, and he asks people not to call. Which is a bold thing to leave in the video imo
