He was my friend before he ever met your stupid ass. Obviously he could not tell you what he knew of me, since you didn't like me then. He was part of the crappy coders until I arrived at the company and showed them all how lame they were.

Knuth said "The conventional wisdom shared by many of today's software engineers - not ART - you idiot - calls for ignoring efficiency in the small - which is exactly what you are doing you idiot that your handlers have to pay people to come see your freakshow - but I believe this to be an overreaction to the abuses they see when penny wise and pound foolish programmers - such as yourself - can't debug or maintain their optimized programs.

I add mdot because it give the benefits as demonstrated in another obviously better than 12% gain for zero extra work, without complicating or abusing anything, except your ridiculous OPINION that you don't like how it looks. That is not even the point of readability.

Knuth then goes on to say a 12% improvement easily obtained is never considered marginal and the same viewpoint should prevail in software engineering.

So while you stupidly pound your chest like a drunk gorilla, I recommend a fully scientifically proven safer and better and faster approach - completely in-line with Knuth's talk on improving the science and engineering of software.

Some programmers make crappy code, just as some artists use feces and vomit to make 'art'. You and your peanut gallery can continue to consider yourselves artists, cause I can smell you a mile away.

I made Microsoft look stupid back then and I have made others like you look stupid. I have asked you to leave me alone and you refuse, like a stupid dog.
