You know, the person who copy-pastes code off the web, until something compiles and passes through the minimal test.  In the open source world, the person who responds to bug reports with "it works on my machine, so I'm closing this bug report as invalid".

Please do not confuse him with anyone who can actually develop useful software that works in a predictable fashion, okay?

He made his bones writing code long before “the web” existed.

Just so you know. He wrote a significant part of Windows, a lot of his code like Task manager and disk formatter are still on your computer many years later.

Well, do not confuse Windows with useful software that works in a predictable fashion.

Or, dunno, don't confuse software with something useful that works in a predictable fashion if we are at that.
Howardlong:
FWIW, I took a measurement of 27mA for a red LED without a resistor on a GPIO.

The SoC GPIO current limits are for power limiting during transients, not for driving LEDs.

Yes, it works, most of the time. So does driving home drunk. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
