Having a PhD on a field does not automatically imply you can produce good results, specially if targeted for widespread consumption. It is actually very rare when that happens.

I am not saying that is the case here one way or the other, though.

Under Niklaus Wirth nonetheless, that's just awesome, the grand dad of performant compilers.

Having a PhD means you studied for years to push boundaries, nothing more, nothing less. Lets not forget that the bosses usually decides exactly what should be done with sprints and standup, especially in teams that are not research focused.
