I don't like the way it is presented as an achievement in wasm-conversion and at the same time presenting the psychological bad state of the origin author and making fun of him by stating like: "if it's slow, it's not my fault, it's the CIA".

This is beyond resepectless and shameless to the bones. I don't care about that converted code, what i see is an embarresment.

The specific video is also picked for that reason: to let the deceased developer look bad and make fun of him.

Another clear example that intellectual capacity or intelligence does not develop ethics or compassion as a byproduct on the way - or even was to expect from a developer these days.

At least, the author didn't camouflage anything and stands straight up with that attitude in front of the rest of the world.

I disagree, as a programmer having my code being used long after I am gone would be a great honor.

I believe the linked video is Terry's last video that is why its so special.

There is a whole sub-culture, cult following lore around TempleOS, some of us used to watch the live-streams when Terry was coding in real time. Terry appreciated it and even when he was homeless, he tried very hard to reach his audience.

I know the cult which is a humane community, that 's the point - but this standalone thing without any background is what i described. There is no: in respectful memorial and with <3 and respect to him, or did i miss something? You can not assume, that anybody knows enough at that point how its presented. At least giving a ton of background-links to go down that rabbithole for the reader himself would be the least.

The treatment of the mentally ill and the vulnerable is a good metric for the society you live in. And if in digital nowadays you'd be mocked more than your lifetime, i think i had a point.

You'd not only suffer till death from it - you'd be made fun of forever, which is really not, what anybody should participate in.
