I disagree entirely.  For a person who claims to have 40 years programming experience I say he's completely clueless.  Until such time as he can show that he understands source code control, the difficulties in building cross platform code and the other 1,000,001 problems that people who have to work in teams have to put up with on a daily basis, I will not be changing my opinion.  Run time speed, which he is completely obsessed with, is for 99.99% of programmers in the 21st century irrelevant.

Kindest regards.
