The guy can't take any discussion as he has comments turned off.
It's all true, you can make a given piece of code tens, hundreds of times faster by rewriting in less flexible, less maintainable ways. But actual software tends to spend most of its time in a very small portion of the code. So the rest of the code could be clean or optimized asm and not make much difference. This is a good thing. If you write clean code to start with, you an always optimize the hot spots later, and you always have the clean version as a reference or fallback.
The first half of the video made sense. Then in the second half, he started using hardcoded tables and basically pre-calcuating everything so his program was extremely inflexible. And that's when I noticed the comments were turned off. What a joke.
