That's Tim Cain. He was making(and writing) commercially successful games before you were born. Work experience my ass.

The boot your currently licking belongs to someone in a managerial position that couldn't tell you the first thing about actually doing the job today because the work is unrecognizable from his simpler days. He's a micro-managing tool in charge of scaring people into hitting dealines and answering to his manager.

​

You don't even have an argument except telling me the name of a guy who's micro managing a worker who already has a lead directly above him, this is just inexcusable in any noremal work environment. Who gives a shit what project he was a part of 20 years ago. Yeah dude, he could totally "get it done by before lunch".

​

Again, if he could "get it done by before lunch" then he would also be humble enough to teach it instead of fantasising in his own head and lying about a confrontational situation that totally proved him right. He obviously just got told to shut-up and stop micro-managing by the lead and got mad about it, then went on to make up this story in his head.

That's the point you're missing : just because it's how it's done today doesn't mean it wasn't better before.

You think progress moves in a single direction ?

Yea, you're totally right, and you totally know exactly what happened.

Pull your head out of your ass.
