Has this ever happened in another software company? I can think of Sergei Brin, but did he really produce after exiting CEO? Or David Filo of Yahoo with the same comment.
- enjo 5y agoJohn Carmack did something kind of similar a billion years ago at Id.
- caeril 5y agoJohn Carmack and Dave Cutler have always been individual code contributors, regardless of their titles and management responsibilities. They never cut out management/executive duties completely (as in Mitchell's case), but they came somewhat close.
- nmfisher 5y agoCarmack has been pretty explicit that he is not, nor does he want to be, a manager (either in the executive sense, or the “technical lead” sense). He sees himself more as a senior craftsman.
