MBCook writes "A man named Landon Dyer posted an entry on his blog the other day entitled Donkey Kong and Me describing how he was offered at job at Atari after writing a Centipede clone and ended up programming Donkey Kong for the Atari 800. The article describes the fascinating stuff he found there that were indications of what to come.

It was a portent of things to come. My first officemate didn't know how to set up his computer. He didn't know anything, it appeared. He'd been hired to work on Dig Dug, and he was completely at sea. I had to teach him a lot, including how to program in assembly, how the Atari hardware worked, how to download stuff, how to debug. It was pretty bad.
