Isn't gates considered an excellent coder?
Anyway, John Carmack.
- jdiez17 13y agoA lot of John Carmack's code is open source. Also, what he used to do at id was not particularly groundbreaking; and the "open sourced" (by talking about novel algorithms for 3D rendering) the groundbreaking stuff at his popular multi-hour-long keynotes. So you can think of Carmack as someone who does open source, albeit in a different way.
- teach 13y agoI would disagree that Carmack's work at id "was not particularly groundbreaking". Commander Keen, Wolfenstein, Doom and Quake were all absolutely ground-breaking. Probably ditto for the megatexture stuff in Rage.
