This company was originally supposed to sell what you see in 1. They made small “demo clips” to show 1’s might but it had no buyers. The company later evolved into something totally different. Which company?

The first few “demo clips” has a reference to 1 in the beginning, but, later one of the demo clips became so famous that the company started using that instead of 1 in other things it did.

The dude on the left in 2 created X and 1 “wrote” something for him while describing his creation. Later, the dude to the right in 2 created Y, and 1 “wrote” the same thing for him in a different way. What 1 “wrote” has since become EPIC and everyone make it a ritual to write what 1 wrote using whatever they create. What did 1 “write” ?

  1. kernighan

  2. Ken_n_dennis

P.S: Since you are reading bb, chances are very high that you have written it too!
