Another programmer showed me what he was working on. He tried to implement a driver for some badly documented virtual hardware, but couldn’t figure out, why the set of bytes he used didn’t work. I knew about big and little endian and suggested to simply turn the order of the bytes around. It worked immediately and I had solved a problem that had him puzzled for some days. This gave me confidence that despite my little coding experience at that time I could still make a positive impact.
