How is he more incompetent at coding than basic tech support people? How do you write more than a couple scripts in your lifetime and not realize that effectively communicating what your code does is important for maintenance? This isn't me being an optimization snob. This is just basic practice if you interact with a coding language for work on any fucking level. Did this ferret fucker ever expect to finish his notEarthbound game?
