Minecraft was working and it was already quite big. Quite bad programmer would not achieve working Minecraft. Notch have his limits and made some decisions that did not scaled, but "quite bad programmer" is an overstatement.

You are right, "quite bad programmer" is definitely an overstatement. I should have said average, or maybe a bit above average, but definitely not 10x.
