Hacking through this and thinking himself so superior because he understands CS just makes the article feel pompous and self-aggrandizing. It's highlighting a personal win with notes about the shorter runtime being a team win. CS is a wonderfully useful, deep and broad field. There's nothing so special about some simple Big O complexity that he couldn't have taught every developer in the department this rather than bragging and upstaging the person who wrote a correct but slow implementation. Patting all of CS on the proverbial back for this smells of gatekeeping.
