The Legendary John Carmack gives a stunning keynote in QuakeCon 2011 about the ultimate rise of Quake. Talking about the whole path of ID software since it's start up till now revisiting old memories of the company and the entire team and touching the very personal aspect of it from his own experience. Furthermore, he digs deep into programming techniques and technologies that were used back then and nowadays. Things like how game programming used to be very hard back then, how it was a must to optimize every single line of code to the byte due to the limited resources. Whereas, nowadays developers tend to throw away and ignore megs of space that can be utilized just because they are too lazy to optimize and the hardware specifications has gone crazy.
In all measures, this is the ultimate keynote ever. Seriously, this guy deserves a noble prize. This is how to deliver a Proper keynote that touches the audience, enrich the mind of developers and inspire nowadays programmers who think they are legends. The real hardcore people were the people who programmed back in the day when resources were limited, documentation was wack and languages weren't high level. Seriously, fuck the Steve Jobs and Eric Scmidt bullshit.
Watch and Enjoy !
