@crunklord420 when ever i feel bad at how im performing in a game i just go and watch DSP play it to feel better not sure if theres a coding equivalent to DSP tho
@nikiboo yeah you just open any popular website and realize it requires a modern supercomputer to display text.
@crunklord420 someone mentioned yandere dev and that is probably the closest because i remember people saying his code was really bad
@nikiboo (RESENT: wrong link) people like to talk shit about code but in reality no one knows what good code looks like. "Oh it's spaghetti", a meaningless statement by people who have been told GOTO statements are verboten and never dared look towards it's direction.

Casey made a video recently that kinda went viral and started faggy twitter discourse amongst the soys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD5NrevFtbU

@crunklord420 @nikiboo Time of the developer costs more than the additional hardware needed to run the slow code.
Do the practices and OOP make programmers work more efficient? I dunno, but the video isn't about that and kinda misses the point.

@matrix @nikiboo Casey made the excellent point that programming is the only industry where people actively brag about new techniques to make technically inferior software. That it's a virtue. People get paid to go around giving talks about how to make inferior software to applause.

@crunklord420 @nikiboo Is it though? Every industry has a certain "how shit can we make it before it's too shit". Like everything in life, part of engineering is a cost/gain analysis and the technically inferior software is supposed to improve the cost/gain ratio.
Everyone knows, hopefully, that OOP etc has cost to it, so he isn't making a huge revelation.
There is a discussion though to be had on how much these practices help, but that's also fail subjective.
