It's pretty cool that this one person wrote a piece of software that has been used by so many people, it's crazy to think of that impact. I personally find it difficult to get excited or interested in the technical intricacies of a closed source piece of software put out by a megacorp though, unless I'm getting paid for it I'd way rather learn about the technical details of open source counterparts and the systems they're apart of.
- drzaiusapelord 5y agoThis reminds me of all those 80s arcade and Atari/Commodore/Coleco games written almost always by a single person. To think these really iconic experiences were done by someone from start to finish (sounds, graphics, gameplay, idea, execution, debug, etc) as a solo project always seemed a little bizarre to me. Of course those were simpler games but just the creativity plus the know-how is impressive. I also dont think they had ownership of any of this either. They were paid salary and maybe a small cut of sales. It always seemed like a bad deal considering this was a single creators's project.
