🚨 Breaking news! 🚨 John Carmack has discovered time travel and gone back to lament his 'mistakes' with #Quake. Apparently, using the Doom engine would have saved us from the technical apocalypse...or maybe just a few headaches. 🤦‍♂️ Meanwhile, the real issue was the rugpulling, not the brilliant-yet-baffling 6DOF dreams. 🙄

John Carmack about open source and anti-AI activists

I have been studying this interview with John Carmack, for years now. In the past month I must've played through it at least a dozen times. It's such a treasure trove. I think programmers specifically will find it enrichibg, but also everyone who's working on computer games.
Do as I do: download this and listen to it over and over. Week after week I discover new layers to this conversation. #JohnCarmack #LexFridman #GameDev #Programming
