    The meaning in the article is different; it's more like "really clever code that only the smartest programmers can understand".

      I think Atwood means heroic programming is programming that does something really neat, but is not worth the time it took to write. It is nice to emulate a GPU in software and get good performance, but it's easier to walk over to Best Buy and get their $20 graphics card instead.
