at least he figured out that working in tech sucks and he didn't want to do it anymore instead of aiming to become a Senior Architect or a director so he could get more RSUs and buy more maseratis and get more teams reporting into him and more more more MORE

Perhaps relevant: vvvvvv was an indie hit over ten years ago. The author released the source code on github more recently and indeed, it's not the greatest code. See for instance the highly scrutable 1,200+ line `gamelogic()` function

code:
                else if (game.roomx == 101 && game.roomy == 111)
                {
                    //There are lots of warp tokens in this room, so we have to distinguish!
                    switch(game.teleportxpos)
                    {
                    case 1:
                        map.warpto(108, 108, obj.getplayer(), 4, 27);
                        break;
                    case 2:
                        map.warpto(101, 111, obj.getplayer(), 12, 27);
                        break;
                    case 3:
                        map.warpto(119, 111, obj.getplayer(), 31, 7);
                        break;
                    case 4:
                        map.warpto(114, 117, obj.getplayer(), 19, 16);
                        break;
                    }
                }
the game is good and fun and worth playing, however, and credit is also due to Mr. Cavanagh for his level-headed and sensible response to critiques of his code:

wasm is assembly in the same way that all those project management startups that claim to be "the OS for your team!" are operating systems
