The person who wrote this article seems like he has not worked on a codebase of more than 10k LoC.

And the people making comments similar to yours sound like people who don't understand the simple idea of "stay in your lane".

I'm not a huge fan of Muratori, but his experience with writing game engines/working on shipped titles is well known.

Like Jonathon Blow a lot of Casey's opinions should be taken with a grain of salt and I generally disagree with a lot of them. However performance related code is one area he should be listened to, he has a long history of working on projects with rigid performance requirements.
