'Satoshi' on his programming skills ( 2019-05 ):
Quote
I didnt think it was about a group of core developers sitting there going we are the best programmers in the world. I am not. That's why i hired other people. My code is shit. I actually say that. I put case statements in my code. Everyone hates case statements. My documentation is as good as any first year bloody . I have no idea of real world coding.

I appreciate your questions. I actually did this kind of backwards. I had to write all the code before I could convince myself that I could solve every problem, then I wrote the paper. I think I will be able to release the code sooner than I could write a detailed spec. You're already right about most of your assumptions where you filled in the blanks.

While he was the quintessential genius who had the original idea for Bitcoin and
wrote the lion's share of the code he couldnt have done it alone.
Satoshi Nakamoto was a team effort.
