I disagree entirely. For a person who claims to have 40 years programming
experience I say he's completely clueless. Until such time as he can show that
he understands source code control, the difficulties in building cross platform
code and the other 1,000,001 problems that people who have to work in teams
have to put up with on a daily basis, I will not be changing my opinion. Run
time speed, which he is completely obsessed with, is for 99.99% of programmers
in the 21st century irrelevant.
Kindest regards.
