Why would Prime be in that list. He had an entire arc where he tried to make it work and then went back to the drawing board.

I am not saying he writes all code by hand, of course. Just that he is furthest in figuring out some sort of mid point between full comprehension and cognitive surrender.

I have missed the more recent content, so perhaps I have missed something, but this was my read last I watched.

I'm also not sure why anyone would attach importance to his opinions as a software engineer, he's exceptional in generating entertaining content but as an engineer he does not seem above average. Definitely not even close to the category of Jonathan Blow or Andrej Karparthy
