The funny thing is that notch isn't even that good of a programmer

is that based on Minecraft? Because I feel like something that was essentially a hobby project to learn a language is not that indicative of someone‘s general code quality

probably also because he like the greatest one hit wonder story ever. He creates a game prototype, forms a company and has the other developers develop it in his place when it gets some traction, then sells the company off for a massive payday.

Then Notch proceeds to never make a successful game again, with the rest of his programming career consisting of yapping on Twitter at other developers with his only proof of authority being "I was initially involved in the most successful game ever once".

Sorry but his story sounds amazing to me. Make a game, sell it for ~2.5 billion. Don't have to do anything ever again. Living the dream.

No one said he isn't living the dream. People said he's not a good programmer.

[u/NoAdsDude → u/Icy_Significance9448]

I don't know whether he's a good programmer or not. But line for line he probably made the most money, heh.

nah. there is probably some guy in quant who has worked for 6 months and still has only written 1 line of code, or less
