@nixCraft Indeed.. Lots of inventory work, planning and scheduling to fit in all the needed upgrades for firmware, operating systems and applications.

Weekends spent in the datacenter, fueled by coffee and energy drinks, to run all those upgrades, perform tests, and check off lists.. 😅

... after a lot of work on the same stuff that autumn, finding the ones that needed upgrades. I did a tiny bit of that work.

@SoftwareTheron @nixCraft It was exciting to work in a medical devices company at the time, with all the requirements on traceability and documentation in general that followed 😂

I can imagine! Did it improve the general standard of documentation? I hope so, but I've never seen anything suggesting that.

@SoftwareTheron @nixCraft Not significantly, I think.. That happened later, more due to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Standard of documentation was already pretty high, but SOX pushed us towards establishing better habits for backups, disaster recovery, and improved security controls, which led to better and more frequently updated documentation.
