While I agree with the overall gist I didn't find his examples very interesting or convincing. They were pretty much all made up to illustrate, outdated, or disingenuous (the first one with the intentionally obfuscated code).
I know they look trivial, but I trivialized them to get them to fit on a slide. There are few more worthless slides than ones with 50 lines of code on them. Nobody can understand 50 lines of code in a minute, let alone hear the presenter talking about it.
It would have been far better if he had actual real code examples he'd cleaned up.
With many of them I included a link to a pull request that cleaned up a real example in DMD. (The real examples, of course, tend to be a bit more complicated.)
I'm sorry you didn't find it worthwhile.
