@jchyip it was not at a public facing company but I did version control and build management at a very large financial firm in the late 1990’s. We had some applications that were built and deployed daily (built on a dedicated build platform and then deployed) most other apps had a slower build/release cycle but we were definitely using a build/test/prod model for apps back in a 1997-1999 timeframe. Wasn’t continuous integration for most.
(For context this firm had 1000 devs and 1200+ apps)
@jchyip Greg's article is laughably wrong. I was using CruiseControl to build our small Java applications at a humble insurance company as early as 2002. When did Mozilla start using Tinderbox, 1998, 1999? @jwz do you recall?
