I knew a guy who would brag that he used Outlook as his build system 20 years ago. Builds would take 9 to 24 months depending on the complexity of the project. But, as the CTO of a mid-sized software company, it worked for him.

CTOs are the original vibe coders.
Other than the theme, what's the difference between typing what you want into Slack and maybe getting it can typing it into ChatGPT and maybe getting it?

I might be stupid, are you saying a build would take 9 to 24 months to finish?

They're saying he used Outlook to assign a project to a team.
Yeah, it confused me also

Either its the wrong unit (minutes?) or the wrong definition of "build"?

Maybe the build system was him sending the email to some factory that would encode it into the silicon of a chip and ship the chip back to him.
