  As a barely relevant point, Using google, I can't find references to the quote (or John Carmack) by searching 'Little tiny steps using local information winds up leading to all the best answers'. Other search engines seems to do a bit better on retrieving the Wiki article. What gives, is google really becoming worse?

    Kagi search shows this HN post, a link to kids encyclopedia page on Carmack, and his Wikipedia page as the first three links. I started using Kagi last month, and am really enjoying it - it's like Google at it's prime.

    The Wikipedia article has a reference to where the quote came from. It’s a podcast, whose audio presumably has not been transcribed and indexed. https://lexfridman.com/john-carmack/ https://lexfridman.com/john-carmack/
