Just spent the last 2 hours reading through most of the 46 pages and skimming through the ones that didn't appear to have much "meat" on them regarding Prince of Persia.
I found the journal to be an incredibly revealing look into what game programmers, and arguably many other programmers, go through. Really makes me wish I had documented some of my earlier forays into programming just so that I could go back, read, and remember.
It's also sparked a bit of intrigue in me that I haven't felt in a while to revisit game development. I toyed around with Dark Basic and Blitz Basic back in 2001 and really haven't touched anything since.
As others have said, great find and I would love to read more from other programmers like this and like ones from Carmack recently posted on HN.
