I find it rather cringe that we are judging where Carmack chooses to spend his spare time in a thread about people working less (where he was explicitly mentioned in the parent comment he responded to). In addition to being an engineer, he's a leader of engineering teams. He would benefit more than most from applying cutting edge managerial science in organizations he operates.
As an older engineer I find Carmack's observations interesting and quite accurate.
- fijiaarone 3y agoThat’s an important point. In 2016, John Carmack is speaking as a manager who doesn’t even have to show up for his job about wanting to extract more value from the employees working under him on his hobby project. He wants them to work harder on his stupid VR goggles fetish. It had been more than 20 years since Carmack pulled an all nighter working on Doom, and he’s been coasting along ever since.
