The code behind the Apollo moon landing ... was perfect
In this video I briefly talk about the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) and its role in the 1969 moon landing. I talk about the AGC’s modular assembly code, showing its organized structure and efficiency. It shows how user-centric design and robust error handling still apply to modern software engineering.
