Marcan is a genius, in every aspect. He is on my top list of people I could read all day long without getting annoyed. Pretty much everything he posts on Twitter is interesting and curious. I'm a huge fan! The other person I have similar feelings for is Geohot. These guys are really, really smart.

I also really liked this line > Wait. Oh no. Some game developer somewhere is going to try to use this as a synchronization primitive, aren't they. Please don't. The world has enough cursed code already. Don't do it. Stop it. Noooooooooooooooo

  You gave denysvitali some serious cognitive dissonance.

    Indeed. Lol The only difference between the twos is that Geohot does a lot of thing for the fame (or at least it seems so), and marcan does that only for fun. I'm okay with both tbh, if you are at this level you deserve some fame

  > But it is no surprise that George Hotz, working alone as team tomcr00se, would rise to the top of the CTF. So then this has to be fake then, obviously. Apparently George Hotz (geohot/tomcr00se) won a few CTFs single handedly [0][1]. I'm sure that marcan is also genius as well, unfortunately though Hotz is somehow still able to stay relevant, continuously.

  Yes, he's a great self promoter and a genius level engineer. You can watch his livestreams to see both for yourself.

  Hearing an S-Tier hacker call a fellow S-Tier hacker B-Tier is certainly entertaining, but from my lowly perspective they're still far more capable than 99% of devs I'll ever encounter.

Ah! I'm not sure he would really like the comparison with geohot.
