Software 'engineers' see the demoscene as an annoying reminder that code can also be crafted like art, unconstrained from corporate concepts like 'design patterns' and 'clean code'.
- OrangeMusic 3y agoAnnoying? You mean refreshing. I don't see why these 2 things have to be a conflict. For business software, of course correctness and maintainability are paramount. For demos and games, of course performance and "quick and dirty" are more important. I'd say most developers can do both and know when to do one or the other.
