Good story! Imagine how Mel must have known the entire program
by heart and he never got any change requests that are so common today.
I would have been addicted to that, too. But luckily 1975 was 8
years before my birth and so I started "hacking" with QBasic
Gorillaz, a turn based strategy game.
I guess with SSE it still today makes sense to count
instruction delays and throughput. Also take a look at this:

I don't think people like this programmer Mel are job-less
today.
