Yes, who haven’t had a glass of red wine, relaxing music and some inline assembly…

    As usual his code might be a great thing, but his pretentious attitude is still shit.

    “Ah yes look at me I have written, oh my dare I say, some ASSEMBLY honhonhonhonhonhon

    That this is a big thing seems wild to me.

    Assembly isn’t such a big thing, some devs use it daily (Hello to my embedded devs out there) so why is this worthy a news article?

      the dude wrote a kernel, I very much doubt he needs to brag about his ability to write assembly.

        I know. He’s a legend. And I respect his work. He doesn’t need to brag.

        And yet he does.

      That’s not being pretentious, that’s being blunt. I personally as a dev, appreciate that.

      If you think the code can be improved you should say that, and exactly why that’s the case. When you’re mistaken you should be able to take the criticism.

      Your mission as a dev is to write the ideal code, and being overly polite can stand in the way of that.
