I'm afraid this reference went over my head. This Smash is an alias for Matt Swoboda.

  I just spent several minutes explaining it, then deleted the comment because it's obviously an in-joke that's not funny when explained. Sorry, in-jokes don't belong on HN (except HN-in-jokes ofc). The gist is that Smash is not only a spectacularly skilled coder and artist, but also an extremely nice guy (like just about every demoscener) and that sceners have a habit of colloquially mocking one another.

    Ok. As you can tell, I'm not really a part of the demoscene, merely an admirer from the outside.
