That’s not being pretentious, that’s being blunt. I personally as a dev, appreciate that.
If you think the code can be improved you should say that, and exactly why that’s the case.
When you’re mistaken you should be able to take the criticism.
Your mission as a dev is to write the ideal code, and being overly polite can stand in the way of that.
As usual his code might be a great thing, but his pretentious attitude is still shit.
“Ah yes look at me I have written, oh my dare I say, some ASSEMBLY honhonhonhonhonhon”

I know. He’s a legend. And I respect his work. He doesn’t need to brag.
And yet he does.
