To be fair, it's probably 10x harder to repurpose someone else's code than to repurpose your own. So it probably would've taken anywhere from 40-60 days for so

To be fair, it's probably 10x harder to repurpose someone else's code than to repurpose your own. So it probably would've taken anywhere from 40-60 days for someone else to do it. Plus, Carmack's code isn't exactly clear. :)
- pistoriusp 18y agoHave you ever gone back and looked at your own code that is ~2 years old? It usually takes some time for me to get familiar with what I was trying to achieve, I should comment more, but what I'm trying to get at is that code that ~18 years old is probably very different from the code you're making today.
- Hexstream 18y agoYes, however if you wrote the code you can remember "where things come from", why things are the way they are (you have a vague recollection of refactorings) and that helps for perspective. A third-party can't do that.
