Extremely funny post.

The author doesn't grasp how much of what they've written amounts to flexing their own outlier intelligence; they must sincerely believe the average programmer is capable of juggling a complex 500 line program in their heads.

I do what the author does all the time, every day. But then, I work mostly on my own; and I've spent decades learning how to structure my code so as to minimize the amount that has to be "live" in my head at any give moment, and so that I can quickly rebuild that mental model on re-reading.
