Well, if you cared to read the Emacs developer lists, you'd notice that
Alan is the main person working on cc-mode, the programming mode for
such unimportant languages as C, C++, Objective C, Java, and likely awk
and some others.
Emacs comes with a file "AUTHORS" which will tell you:
Alan Mackenzie: wrote cc-awk.el
and changed cc-cmds.el cc-mode.el cc-engine.el cc-defs.el cc-langs.el
cc-vars.el cc-mode.texi cc-styles.el cc-fonts.el cc-align.el lread.c
programs.texi cc-subword.el font-lock.el isearch.el lisp.el search.texi
startup.el subr.el text.texi add-log.el and 21 other files
On the other hand, a certain "Xah Lee" is not mentioned there at all.

Well, "get one" is obviously sound advice for you regarding the former
category, and I recommend focusing on that at first, or there may be a
lack of opportunity to apply any gains in the latter category, anyway.
Expressed differently: there is more than one way to lower the dickhead
center of gravity.
