Casey Muratori

My roommates loves Casey Muratori. He praises as a lord and savior. Casey Muratori advocates for compression oriented programming and hates object oriented programming. Programmers should write the use case first.

In one of Casey's podcast, he argues about why books like Effective C++ are bad.

But there was a time in my life where I definitely had this thing where, you know, you’d read a book on how to program properly, like, “Effective C++” by Scott Myers or something… These books are shit. That book doesn’t have a single tip in there that will make you a better programmer. But I read those books and was like, “Oh, this is how good programmers program. They fucking put private and they put the [ operator equals ] in there so that people don’t copy back or something, right?” And the thing is, basically, you have to kind of be… You have to be the dude who figures out that the evangelical dude who says like, “You’re healed. Walk now, my child.” Those are fucking [ snake oil ] salesmen. They’re preachers who ask you for $1,000 to send you a prayer cloth. They don’t know anything. - Casey

Casey hates const. You should design your programming style to catching your bugs.

It is all about tradeoffs with time.
