Couple of fun facts to think about. 1)In any given 2 week release cycle (we didn't call them sprints) you would have just a bit shy of 700 individual devs checking in C++ or Java code. 2)The source code repo was CVS

I did the ports from pre-ansi to ansi C++ compilers on all three platforms (in each case with one other dev specific to the platform) and this was in the days when template instantiation compile error messages would be literally 50+ pages long. I got very good with vim and quickfix lists :-)

How do you feel your old process compares to modern agile dev + ci/cd practices? How big was the devops team?

In some sense, that particular Goldman process was implementing those modern processes before modern tools were invented.

I'd say they were ahead of their time for perhaps five to ten years, but then fell behind.
