The pathologically questionable parts.

When you think you've seen the last ever killer demo, there is always another one coming sooner or later.
Yeah, and daytime drunk Saturday noon at any random party.

I like how the demoscene braids together so many disciplines and expels the boring parts of each one.

Coding
- No need to care about tests (only 1 test is enough)
- No need to debug corner cases (just cover it up with sprites)
- your strange rendering idea turns out to be slow and stupid - release it anyway!

Graphics
- No need to paint tomato juice ads or anything that makes commercial sense
- no customer asking you to adjust that html up by a pixel
- People ask you to draw something in a particular theme - ignore - just draw a skull or a fish instead.. we can make it fit

Music
- The weirder the better!
- I don't know what boring demands exist on music in the real world. Probably something like it has to fit in 3 minutes and earn money.

And there is the great social aspect of it. We have that common goal of winning some nonsensical competitions. Somehow this generates cooperation and fun across land borders spanning all over the globe. Realizing in the process that real life people are much better than online people!

Expelling the boring parts .. great observation, rloaderro! Very true and it's definitely one of the things that make the scene so great and enjoyable.

Yes, this is spot on, really. Cowboy coding ftw!

Greatly written.
Music 3 minutes and all the time just the chorus melody/chord loop with -4dB LUFS. Thats pop.

Waking up at Saturday noon, walking outside the hall completely destroyed and a totally unknown person offers you a beer and a spliff.

Only when you don't know ARM. ;-P

What loady and groepaz said!

I want to expand on what loaderror wrote from a coder's perspective: total freedom; rejecting high level languages in favor of the real deal; not having to deal with user input; rogue practices; embracing gotos aka bras, what lamers call spaghetti code; OS interfaces written by geniuses and not by sadists; rejection of capitalist and imperial platforms and languages; rejecting so-called best practices; removal of unnecessary abstraction layers; in other words, fun and #keepitraw

Worst thing that can happen is it won't run on the compo machine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
