Remember Forth? Ever had the chicken-egg problem and needed an assembler for a barebones piece of hardware that nobody had been writing any software for yet? No? I'd call this the circular dependency of 70's software engineering.

And Nie Dżejkob tackles that issue better than Sugar Ray Robinson his opponents.

In his blog post you'll learn everything you need to know, for the next time, you and a barebones IBM PC, with no operating system on it, are locked up in a room.

Enjoy the read. It goes into the depth, but you will get it.
