Carmack is this living legend of programming, hacking, making magic happen with the computer. And yet his writing and the concepts that interest him are often simple and approachable.
How does he manage to look at this pile of hacks with beginner's eyes? Somehow he does, and he sees it for what it is without judging it too harshly or prematurely. I love reading his blog.
