Ah, the "applications that I don't consider important don't count"
strategy. Magnifique.

 I worked in defense writing software for missiles for a while.

Presumably only for a short while, or very indirectly.  People who /actually/ work in that kind of system, don't talk about it.

Also worked
on networking code for systems that literally transfered 100s of millions of

Ah, so games - just with a different kind of score.

 But yeah, I'm sure scripting actions on Fortnite and Call of Duty compare.
Even the game engines are written in C++.
 

And the game data and actions are written in Lua.
You do realise that the gaming industry is pretty big?
