Coders. Can you help with this question?⬇️ Brenda is working on a PhD at Trinity.

A serious question for professional programmers: What is the purpose of programming? I am looking for one- or two-sentence answers for an essay. (It's surprising how challenging it is to find progressional programmers, even language creators, talking about this basic concept.)

Teaching people how to code is really enjoyable, particularly when it expands my knowledge. Over the break, I spent time with my youngest daughter, discussing AI applications for neuroscience.

The first Commander Keen trilogy is 32 years old. That makes me feel young again! Of the 3 games, my favorite was Keen 2. It also caused me to figure out a way to compress it onto a 5.25 floppy!

Here’s a cool article to check out. It’s about my old friend John and his long connection to metal, specifically Black Sabbath & Iron Maiden.
If you didn’t know, he originally wanted “After All (The Dead)” to be the theme song for Doom in 93.

One very minor correction - there was no music in the Jaguar port because there were no resources (memory and CPU) for it to happen.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, I wanted to highlight how the video game industry wouldn’t be the same if it weren’t for a Mexican-American and Indigenous game designer, John Romero (@romero) 
You might know him for designing Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, and Quake

Margot Comstock was an absolute legend. I was very lucky to get to know her, and her work was very influential.

Great to see you're a classic games collector! Seriously, it's amazing that you're still able to stand in the same exact spot 25 years later. Congrats on keeping DOOM alive in your heart!

@romero My brother said thanks for signing his Final Doom :)
