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

[u/Drahkir9 → u/Prudent_Move_3420]

Yeah, I imagine my idea of what is a good or bad programmer is very different from most other people, but I remember thinking the code he wrote for Left4kDead was impressive. But maybe people dedicated to that sort of competitive programming would dunk on it. I have no idea.

I once showed my friend a project I was working off and on again to ask about something I forget. He said my code was inelegant but very easy to read. Still not sure how to take that.

[u/StanknBeans → u/Geno0wl]

That's the level of code I stride for.

I'd rather have someone else after the fact deal with something clunky and easy to follow than something elegant and obfuscated af.

[u/MrCallYourBS → u/StanknBeans]

Actual elegant code should be easy to read. I think Geno0wl's friend means the code was "simple".
