Yeah the first one is a risk. I've met one whom I had to take over the code of when he left and psh, I wished he was a dumbass instead. He could produce shitloads (but would never test, interestingly), do stuff I honestly can't do, but do you really need to bitshift instead of doing a modulo to save 1 CPU instruction ? The amount of obscure waste of programming complexity made us actually just abandon the thing he spent years on to just not do it. And everything works fine and we still make money and we're just probably a little bit less clever about how we do it. We also have a lot more time to listen to users and solve their problems, rather than gloat on our genius and solve our own created problems :D Your second example is inspiring and I hope to meet one to learn from too !
