He used to be there. You can't find a better expert. I'd expect mods familiar with Lua to recognize him, and he should have mod powers, to begin with.

- cruise02 13y agoHe doesn't even recognize that he's using two separate accounts, but other people are supposed to recognize him and his accounts should have mod powers? Again, if he had just used his original account to edit his answer, he wouldn't have needed any of that.
- pygy_ 13y agoYes. He's a world class expert in compilers and high performance, low level programming on modern hardware. This addresses the core point of the article, being that the SO "meritocracy" is badly implemented, and conflates heavy site usage with maturity and technical ability. Edit: If not a mod status, a VIP status. SO would gain a lot if its staff were to individually recruit people as talented as he is.
- dfbrown 13y agoThis seems more like an argument that SO's "meritocracy" isn't perfect, not that it's poorly implemented. Having two accounts is an edge case.
