Even billionaires may want to micro-optimize! Bonus point: he is developing for a "20 years old platform"
- crimsonalucard 11y agoThere's always outliers, which is what I think Notch is... Without quantitative data I may be totally wrong though. I still think most people would stop coding once they had the resources to command other people to do it for them. Take for instance, Elon Musk, I'm pretty sure he's no longer in the trenches. That guy started coding at 12.
