Jonathan Blow is a creative, productive and overall smart guy, but reading his code will make you want to slam your head against the wall.

What irritates me the most are the long, non-linear comments full of distracting noise. It's like reading a choose your own adventure novel.

When he talks about his approach he typically mentions the importance placed on getting feedback from an actually working prototype as quickly as possible. Don't judge him by most of the ad-hoc code you've perhaps seen on twitch. But I've seen some really good-looking stuff there as well - straight to the point, no noise, not overabstracted. I would be interested what a finished project looks like.
