[@Y0y0Jester]

Every single programmer at Microsoft should have asked themselves this question on a daily basis. "Is this steaming pile of inefficient shit code too much voodoo for the world to bear?" And more often than not the answer would be yes. When Terry asks himself if his code is solid enough for the next centuries, I don't see it as a joke but as serious contemplation. He was a man who put deep thought into every single line of code he wrote. A practice that every contemporary programmer needs to adopt without a doubt.

[@leonardo9259]

He is essentially saying that one should always consider whether his codebase is too complex or not for its supposed function. Writing heavily reusable code is useful, using standard structures is reliable. But at the same time heavily reusable code requires another set of codes just to make it work, using standard structures may just overcomplicate things. The code he shows I believe demonstrates these 2 points.

[@MrAcuriteOf1337]

He's not the smartest programmer to ever live, though. Other people have built operating systems by themselves. It's just that, while Terry Davis built an unusable piece of shit, Ken Thompson built the basis of basically every modern OS besides Windows. And he also invented the language needed to do it; except instead of it being some niche derivative of C, it was C. Besides the OG Bell Labs people, you've also got folks like Edsger Dijkstra, who decided he needed a good example of what computers are good for, and so invented BFS. Terry Davis was accomplished, yes, but not in any way that really accomplished anything.

Especially when building core software or frameworks (or in his case, an OS) - this truly is one of the hardest questions in programming because there’s no real clear cut way to decide
