In today’s business of software development, “experienced” means that one has been around for more than 5 years. I have. More like 25 actually. When I started my professional career, we used IBM PC XT machines with dual 5¼ inch floppy disks, or if lucky, an AT with a 20 MB (yes Mega, not Giga) hard disk. I’d like to think I’ve learned at least something during this period.

I like my car. We have enjoyed many trips together. But on a Friday evening some time ago, we were not friends any more. The central locking refused to work when using the remote control, and being a modern car, only the drivers seat had a physical lock that accepted an old-fasioned key. No passengers could enter the car and none of the stuff in the boot was accessable. And of course, the garage were closing for the weekend. I had to realize that important stuff was going to be locked into the car over the weekend.

In fact, Atollic has been contracted to develop software development tools for flight-control-system development, and we are heavily involved in software development for various aircraft models since many years.
