I wonder what it actually means to reverse engineer a program written in Dutch to understand the operating system in order to collect metrics.

“Also, they ran legacy code written in Dutch—a language Borkowski doesn’t speak.

Borkowski ended up reverse-engineering the machines to figure out their operating systems, then reprogrammed them to communicate with the new data-collection system”
