Is that true? I've seen a lot of his shorts and he's always been like: "just make games" -- "stop worrying about code quality, some amazing games have shit code"
He also threw a massive tantrum when somebody reviewed his code and said it wasn't the quality of somebody who works in the industry, which he claims to have done.
I saw a clip of Primeagen saying that Casey Muratori said that Pirate's stuff was fine?
Like, I hate Thor's stance on SKG for sure. However, I steered largely away from this drama because I think a lot of criticisms feels unrelated. I didn't see the tantrum but people were going after him quite a lot and if you told him you don't think he belongs in the industry maybe that's a reason to throw one?
I generally don't care. I have a few friends in the industry and they say a lot of the code is shit in general for games -- so I don't particularly care. If Pirate was a guy saying that you need to follow clean code and all that jazz then that'd make sense, I suppose. Which is why I'm on Uncle Bob's case :P but I'm not jumping on the bandwagon for this one against Thor.
