    Very good John Carmack interview: https://youtu.be/udlMSe5-zP8 . (Related: https://www.amazon.com/Masters-Doom-Created-Transformed-Culture/dp/0812972155 … is one of my favorite books about building software.)

        I absolutely loved this book growing up. Remember reading it and thinking I really wanted to build s/w for a living. The chapter with the ceremonial burning of computers in a heap is etched in my brain forever!

        Good interview. And that book was great. My childhood was basically playing Doom, making maps and mods for Doom, hosting Doom LAN parties, etc.

        I read the book Masters of Doom when I was in high school and it's the main reason I'm in tech today. I found it really cool how one developer could make all these breakthroughs in game engines. I'm definitely watching this interview later. Thanks for sharing.

        It’s inspiring that he’s 49 and still one of the best programmers in the world. Also, his comments in this interview about superintelligence and VR are scary.

        Doom was one of the first games I played. I loved it as a kid. This was one of my first experiences with computers and launching Doom with command line.
