Carmack has a great way of explaining basic technical jargon and gradually going deeper and deeper into more advanced topics, but bringing it back right before it becomes incomprehensible to 99.9% of the audience. And he's never bragging or trying to impress; he's a humble, honest person who takes pride in his work.

How could anyone have clicked "dislike" to this video? It just boggles the mind... There is no one programmer in the games industry who has continually innovated and grown the industry through his works as Mr Carmack has. He is straight forward and honest about the realities of what his company is doing ,as well as their goals, and above all else takes the time through his works to show appreciation for the not only the product his company is making, but all gamers & programmers w/ open source

Re-watching this in 2020, it strikes me that the direction that upcoming consoles are taking with their hardware design is pretty much exactly what John yearned for when making Rage. File size limits from the manufacturers have been pretty much lifted with 100GB+ games becoming the norm, and both consoles will come with fast SSDs and hardware decompression that allow to fetch data with minimal latency, decompress it on the fly and plonk it directly in VRAM. Hell, Mark Cerny even described in his PS5 hardware keynote a use case that is basically what Carmack was doing with virtual texturing in Rage. Fascinating stuff.

I'm not really gamer but I am a programmer (not in games though), and I absolutely loved hearing him ranting away here. Was nice to get a little insight into their development practices and the stuff about the static analysis was interesting. Also, that build server with 192GB of RAM - WOW! I can't believe he was able to talk about all that without the aid of any notes or anything too - guy is a true genius. Much respect!

I'm not a programmer, but the way he talks is incredible. It gives you a glimpse into the way he thinks, which is categorical and organized. I'm a 3D artist (and amateur writer) and very interested in how I think and how I can make my self think better, and how that affects my art. It's very inspirational to listen to someone that is so self-criticizing and makes abstract concepts seem like simple mental hurdles. He reminds me of other great thinkers such as the Dalai Lama and Steven King.

The longest video on youtube I have ever watched, but I surprisingly wasn't bored. Carmack spoke about some really interesting problems that industry having right now: like a 10x horse power of the GPUs on PC and how its going for a waste, lack of unification. And of course the release of the Doom 3 source code. What I liked the most that he spoked about the things that developers don't usually speaking of: the drivers, the directx problem.

@42:44 when we build our virtual textures for the dynamic stuff, it is this process that @42: 49 at one point it just took hours. I rewrote it to be such a way that it used huge amounts of memory mapped files and it got down much much faster @42:59 but it really started swapping on any system that we had. @43:02 So we said "Well let's find out what the actual limitations here are." @43:07 So we took one of our servers and we put 192 gigabytes of ram in it
