Grim Nox . hmm I feel like we would just causally speak ill of others as we sip tea , with zombies beating on the doors and windows . <| sep |> I could see a single box for Test environments if you were in a pinch on cost . but you really want high availability for all these daily use items . Even then , I ' d rather have a few smaller servers than one giant server . <| sep |> And yet the nicest code in the world means nothing if it never ships . Engineering isn ' t about making everything perfect all the time , it ' s about filling requirements effectively and efficiently . Commenting and over engineering code is wasted effort if you get no value from it . Code that is well document , meticulously designed , and is left alone is wasted effort that could have been used to create something more important . Look at how many websites build a CMS for a site that will never change . I realize you just wanted to take some cheap shots at the guy , but he has some solid points game development is making a game , not making the most beautiful code . You shouldn ' t lose sight of that .
