Rocket Science Has Been Mythologized All Out

I Like To Think I'm Pretty Good At What I Do.

The Escalation Programmers Come From A Completely Different Background, And The Codebase Is All Stl This, Boost That, Fill-up-the-property List, Dispatch The Event, And Delegate That. I Had Been Harboring Some Suspicions That Our Big Codebases Might Benefit From The Application Of Some More Of The Various “modern” C++ Design Patterns, Despite Seeing Other Large Game Codebases Suffer Under Them. I Have Since Recanted That Suspicion.

I Wanted To Remain A Technical Adviser For Id, But It Just Didn't Work Out. Probably For The Best, As The Divided Focus Was Challenging.

The Situation Is So Much Better For Programmers Today - A Cheap Used Pc, A Linux Cd, And An Internet Account, And You Have All The Tools Necessary To Work Your Way To Any Level Of Programming Skill You Want To Shoot For.

Programming Is Not A Zero-sum Game. Teaching Something To A Fellow Programmer Doesn't Take It Away From You. I'm Happy To Share What I Can, Because I'm In It For The Love Of Programming.
