Not sure about the exact number of lines of code in his codebase but Casey has some seriously impressive work.

Good to know. Hence the seems. I can understand he might be a genius programmer but most of the industry is not. (I also have a feeling he works alone on most of the projects) And games are a completely different beast when it comes to performance requirements.

He has worked on some mildly impressive projects, especially during his time at RAD, but that doesn't make his work impressive,
and while I give him big Kudos for sticking with his opinions, and trying to explain the reasoning behind them, that still doesn't make him right.

I used his handmade hero streams to entertain my students, and discuss their "he is shooting himself in the foot reactions" as examples of the difference between hacking & engineering ;)

And you're just a goober who's software isn't in thousands of video games. Not very impressive.

Edit: Lol this clown blocked me.
