Yeah I’m sure he’s actually a great guy in real but that character spiel just seemed so hollow it felt equal parts arrogance and performance.

I saw him do a lecture where he makes a mistake on purpose. I saw someone else do the same lecture. Both people acted like it was just a mistake they did by accident, and was EXTREMELY performative. Comments to me have ranges from: 'he's rusty himself but he's good teacher' to 'he just one of the first codesmith grads and he can't code at all himself at this point but fakes it for lectures'
