All your talk of 'narcissistic injury' and his personal motivations for anything is pure projection and tells me a lot more about you than about him. And yes, the New York Times is no better than reading Twitter.
I sometimes wonder if there are any adults on this site.

You're high as a kite if you believe that. Toking the dankest shit anyone's ever toked, long deep inhalations. You're dropping LSD you got from your friend's friend who you think is homeless and you're not sure what it's laced with. You're consuming craft psilocybin perfected in the lab to give the most detailed, most immersive hallucinations over hours and hours. You're babbling that you've seen God, that you know the secrets of the universe, that you're being bugged by the KGB, that your brother isn't really your brother but is an imposter who just looks and sounds exactly like your brother.
You're crazy.
The original discussion. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the way the Casey individual approaches it. At all. And yes it is simple. If your basic text terminal gets 30 FPS on modern hardware (or worse), you have started with a bad foundation. That is just gross.
The NYT commentary is a bit hilarious as you see that claim on here daily, repeatedly.
Even if I agree it’s factually easy, walking up to someone and saying “walking is easy if you’re not a cripple, am I missing something?” is rude if the person is disabled and even more rude if they aren’t. “But they’re crippled! Fact!” doesn’t make it not-rude behaviour. He isn’t Linus Torvalds and even LT insulted devs on behalf of userland and good code and not just to make himself feel superior. And doesn’t have an eggshell thin skin.
> "Can you be more specific here about what you are talking about? While text output can be "hard", for some not particularly hard definition of "hard""
Insulting, dismissive, rude.
> "to me that a great deal of improvement could be made to the performance of the product if one were so inclined."
After someone said they'd been working on improving performance for 2 years and engaging in good faith with many detailed replies, someone who said they were dependent on changes in the OS which they couldn't make; to then insinuate that they just "weren't inclined" to make improvements is rude.
> "When we're at the stage when something that can be implemented in a weekend is described as "a doctoral research project", and then I am accused of "impugning the reader" for describing something as simple that is extremely simple, we're done. Consider the bug report closed."
Closing a bug report about performance which affects all users, an issue with many detailed comments from many people, because he's taken offense? And at something which was far less rude than the things he said to them in the same discussion? Prima-donna bullshit.
I like. Please submit a PR and make Windows Terminal as fast as refterm, trivially speaking, 2GB/s, no slower than the unoptimized refterm. Just to quote you: simple.
:-D
