>Notch is a very bad programmer

If his goal is to create code that other programs will love to read, then maybe he is terrible.

If his goal is to create software that millions of people will enjoy, then he is amazing.

My guess is that he would describe his goal as the latter. Maybe his goal is different from yours.

Note that the bad programmer bit was a quote of the post I replied to, which I then thoroughly disagreed with. It was not a statement of fact on my part.
