Honestly why care? Everyone writes bugs -- the thing is that Quake works fine -- if some quick runners want to exploit a bug 32 years later to impress each other with runs, after having dissected the code to bits to find glitches, is that really a bad mark on anyone? I don't remember anyone complaining about lightning gun glitches when Quake was being played.
- acomjean 3y agoI agree. Code that works well is a good thing even if not perfect and super optimized. I’m not an elegant coder. My code isn’t perfect. It does run however and is pretty efficient mostly bug free. It does it’s useful thing and I can be proud of that. Having gone through enough code reviews to know there is a huge amount of polish one can give code. It’s a trade off between perfect and Good enough. I’m hopeful new languages and patterns leveraging libraries help make our code better or at least let us write more if it.
